Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday regretted that the world is witnessing the killings in Gaza, but no one is taking any effective measures to stop such deaths.
She made the remark as the visiting Secretary General of the Fateh Movement (Ruling Party) of Palestine Lt General Jebreel Alrjoub called on her at her official residence Ganabhaban in Dhaka.
Prime Minister’s Speech Writer Md Nazrul Islam briefed the newsmen after the meeting.

According to Nazrul, the premier also heavily criticised the human rights organisations for their silent stance about the Israeli attack on Gaza, saying, “This is one kind of hypocrisy.”

The prime minister said the Muslims should remain united, and “it should be done for the security of the Muslim Ummah and to mitigate the misery of the Palestinians.”
She also asked for following the resolution adopted in 1967, which stated that East Jerusalem would be the capital of Palestine.
The prime minister reiterated her unwavering

support for the Palestinians and condemned the killing of thousands in Gaza, including women and children, as well as attacks on hospitals by the Israeli forces.
She also expressed her condolences for the deaths in Gaza and demanded an immediate ceasefire there.

The secretary general thanked Sheikh Hasina for her resolute support and for raising the voice of the Palestinians in different international forums.
