Professor Yunus reaffirms Bangladesh's steadfast support for Palestine
Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has reaffirmed Bangladesh's steadfast support for Palestine. The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, introduced by the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, is being observed on Tuesday.
In his message for the day, Yunus called for an independent, sovereign Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
He highlighted the urgent need for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza to protect innocent lives, particularly women and children.
Yunus called for accountability for atrocities against Palestinians, as underscored by the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion declaring Israel's occupation unlawful.
He said Bangladesh continues to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, supporting their rightful struggle for justice, freedom and dignity.
