Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister, has urged world leaders to put an end to the slaughter occurring in Gaza.
“Bangladesh has always stood against genocide. What is happening in Gaza, I feel it is a genocide. So we never support it,” she said in an interview with Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency on the sidelines of Munich Security Conference 2024 on Saturday.
She also said that the Palestinian people have the rights to live and have their own state.
“The Gaza people have the rights to live but it is a very sad thing what is happening there. So we should help them, and stop this invasion and war,” she said.
The leaders of the globe have been urged by Sheikh Hasina to stand by and assist “the suffering children, women, and people of Palestine.”
Bangladesh, she claimed, had already sent some help for them.
The Premier responded to a question regarding the anticipated Israeli operation on the southern Gaza city of Rafah by saying that they have never been in favor of such an offensive.
“Palestinian people should have the rights to have their own state, that is clear,” she said.
She continued: “There is a two state theory in 1967 UN resolution. It should be implemented immediately.”
