Bangladesh has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to ensure that illegal Israeli settlements and violence in the occupied Palestinian territories is immediately stopped.
Bangladesh's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York, Masud Bin Momen made the call at an open debate at the UNSC on Thursday.
The title of the open debate was on the 'Situation in the Middle East, including the Question of Palestine', says BBC citing a release on Friday.
Masud has also called on Israel to lift the blockade in the Gaza Strip and put an end to all forms of occupation and violence.
The debate was convened by Kazakhstan, the president of the UNSC for this month.
Ambassador Masud expressed concern over funding cut for UNRWA which would have 'grave consequences' for millions of Palestinian refugees in a number of host countries.
"We reaffirm the need for ensuring enhanced, predictable and sustainable funding for UNRWA and urge Member States to help uphold UNRWA's ability to make a difference in the lives of Palestinian refugees," he said.
Masud laid stress on giving immediate priority to ensuring international protection for the Palestinian people suffering for decades from the occupying power's policy of collective punishment.
"Bangladesh looks forward to positive signs to emerge from various regional and bilateral initiatives being pursued to address the Palestinian question," he said.
The Bangladesh's permanent representative also urged the UNSC to demonstrate the unity of purpose to find peaceful, just and lasting solutions to all protracted conflicts and resulting humanitarian situations around the world, including the Palestinian question
