Bangladesh has condemned the violent attack against civilians including women and children in Gaza and Al Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli forces which has invoked concern around the world.
In a statement issued on Monday, Bangladesh expressed deep concern and urged the international community to take sustained measures to end such kind of heinous attacks in the occupied territories.
"Bangladesh firmly supports the inalienable rights of the people of Palestine for a sovereign and independent homeland and reaffirms its position in favor of establishing an independent state of Palestine on the basis of two-state solution," said a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Since Friday, Israel has carried out heavy aerial and artillery bombardment of Islamic Jihad positions in Gaza, with the fighters firing hundreds of rockets in retaliation.
Gaza officials said at least 44 Palestinians, almost half of them civilians and including children, had so far been killed, reports Reuters.
