Following the anniversary of the Nakba, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has pledged that her country will continue to fight for the rights of Palestinians during her UN General Assembly statements on Friday (22). “It is deeply troubling that the legitimate rights of Palestinian people have remained unmet,” said Hasina.
Nakba resulted from the first Arab-Israeli war in 1948. Following the war, the establishment of Israel was strengthened, driving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians out of their homes.
Referring to the 75th commemoration of Nakba, Hasina promised to ‘continue [Bangladesh’s] efforts to realise the rights of the people of Palestine.’
Millions of Nakba survivors currently reside with their descendants in refugee camps in blockaded Gaza, occupied also by West Bank and other neighbouring countries.
