BD expresses outrage at arson attack on Palestinians

Bangladesh on Sunday expressed deep condolences and sympathies to the victims of the arson attack perpetrated by Israeli settlers in Palestine on July 31. The attack on a Palestinian house in the town of Duma in the West Bank burned an 18-month old Palestinian infant to death and injured his parents and four-year-old brother. “Bangladesh considers it a ‘cowardly attack’ and demands the perpetrators involved in this heinous crime be brought to justice,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. Bangladesh reiterated its unequivocal commitment to realising the inalienable rights of the brotherly people of Palestine to an independent homeland and a sovereign and viable State of Palestine, according to a news agency.
