The foreign minister and Awami League joint general secretary expressed hope that the weapons that are being used to kill innocent women and children and the relief workers will be stopped in Israel. Hasan Mahmud.
He expressed this optimism in response to the questions of the journalists after the memorial meeting of the late journalist Ataur Rahman Shamim at the National Press Club on Thursday (April 4) at noon.
Foreign Minister strongly condemned the Israeli attack in Gaza. Hasan Mahmud said that a crime against humanity has been committed in this attack. Israel’s brutality, brutality and killing of people on Palestinians is not stopping. Aid workers have been killed there. It is beyond imagination.
Hasan Mahmud said that Israel is not paying attention to the cease-fire resolution passed by the UN Security Council. I hope the western world will come to its senses after this incident and take action against Israel.
The foreign minister said that our government under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is against any war. We have been, are and will always be with the Palestinians.
“Of course we believe in two-state policy. But peace lies in the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital based on the 1967 borders. Otherwise, there will never be peace in that region,’ he said.
The foreign minister said, “We would hope that those who supply weapons to Israel, those weapons are being used to kill innocent women, children and civilians, even aid workers in the Western world.” After that, the supply of arms to Israel will stop.
Earlier, in the memorial meeting, the foreign minister respectfully remembered advocate Ataur Rahman Shamim, the founder editor of Saptahik Ganabangla, the founding leader of United States Awami League, who died in a fire at Bailey Road in Dhaka recently and wished his departed soul peace.

They are not politicians, they are crooks. In this country BNP-Jamaat, who have committed arson, are still getting it, those who provide money to them, they are the leaders of miscreants.
