Touching on 75th commemoration of Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 by Israel, Sheikh Hasina says it is "deeply troubling" that legitimate rights of Palestinians have remained unmet.Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that Bangladesh will continue efforts to fight for the rights of Palestinians as she touches on the anniversary of the Nakba.
"It is deeply troubling that the legitimate rights of Palestinian people have remained unmet," said Hasina on Friday during her UN General Assembly remarks. She referred to the 75th commemoration of the Nakba, when Israel declared its independence in occupied Palestinian lands in 1948 and forced Palestinians to migrate or into exile.
"We will continue our efforts to realise the rights of the people of Palestine. Bangladesh will stand by Palestine," she said.Following the war, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced out of their homes and areas, paving the way for the establishment of Israel.Palestinians legally hold the"right of return" to their own lands, which are now considered Israeli territory, according to the UN General Assembly Resolution 194 of 1948.
Millions of Nakba survivors are living with their descendants in refugee camps in blockaded Gaza, occupied West Bank and other neighbouring countries.
