Dhaka for mobilising global pressure on Israel

Israeli illegal colonial abuses and this latest massacre of unarmed civilians, including children, are crimes against humanity.
The foreign minister said protection of the Palestinians is Israel’s state obligation as per the international law.
“The crimes deserve international investigation and legal action. We are also concerned at the US action of the opening of the Embassy which is in clear violation of international law including several UN Security Council resolutions.”
The US action actually triggered spontaneous protests from the Palestinians who came out in desperate protest in anticipation of the opening of the Embassy, he said.
“This is alarmingly emboldening Israel to illegally impose its control over the holy city of Al Quds and advance its design to change its historical and legal status, its demographic structure and historic Arab-Islamic character.”
The foreign minister said they cannot remain as bystanders and see this happening to the city of their first Qibla, the third holiest shrine, and the permanent seat of OIC Headquarters.
“We must reject any attempts to bring change in the status quo in the occupied Jerusalem,” minister Ali said.
He said Israeli colonial practices and state impunity must come to an immediate end forever.
“Supporters of Israeli action should realise that its crimes call for only justice in a civilised world not condoning of it.”
