Bangladesh stresses on preserving the legal status of Jerusalem within the framework of relevant UN resolutions, says a statement issued by the foreign ministry today.

Bangladesh strongly condemns the use of force by the Israeli authorities against the Palestinians which left scores of Palestine civilians dead and several thousand injured.

While expressing deep condolences and sympathies to the Palestinians, we call on international community to put pressure on Israel to stop the atrocities immediately.
