JS condemns Israel's Gaza offensive

The Jatiya Sangsad last night unanimously adopted a resolution condemning recent Israeli offensive on Gaza strip and called upon the world leaders to take effective measures for the formation of an independent Palestine state.
It also stated categorically that Israel return all the occupied lands in Gaza.
Taking part in the discussion, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina wholeheartedly supported a resolution tabled by Awami League MP Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim and criticised Israel and the USA and other countries that are supporting the Jewish state in their atrocities on the Palestinians.
Expressing Bangladesh's support to Palestine's struggle for an independent state, Hasina said Bangladesh will always stay beside the Palestinians no matter what the other countries do.
She said the Israeli brutality on the innocent Gaza people, especially women and children, cannot be tolerated.  “Those who have committed such crimes must be tried.”
For the victims of Israel atrocities, her government will do everything necessary, including sending emergency aid.
After over two and a half hours of discussion of 23 lawmakers, the House passed the resolution on voice votes.
Nearly 2,101 people, including women and children, were killed and thousands more injured in the eight-weeks-long Israeli offensive that began on July 8.
In her speech, Hasina said Israel must return the occupied lands and recognise an independent Palestine state.
Lambasting the US and the UN, Hasina said, "They phoned us when we moved to execute the order of International Crimes Tribunal that awarded capital punishment to a war criminal".
“The US secretary of state telephoned me when we moved to punish the man involved in crimes against humanity.”
"The USA used to raise a hue and cry even if any petty incident or a killing took place in our country. They sent so many letters to us. But why are they silent now? Where is their humanity? Why the world leaders are silent now?" she went on.
Participating in the discussion, lawmakers praised the premier for her bold stance against the Israeli offensive but criticised the BNP and its chief Khaleda Zia for their delayed reaction in this regard.
