BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has strongly condemned the settlement expansion plan of the occupying Israeli army in the West Bank of Palestine. He has called on the international community to stop this plan.
Tarique Rahman said this on his verified Facebook page today, Friday (September 12).
In a Facebook post, Tarique Rahman said that Bangladeshis in different parts of the world have always expressed solidarity against the colonialist violent oppression and attempts to annihilate the Palestinian people.
He commented that Benjamin Netanyahu’s continued racism and aggression against the Palestinian people, their culture, their land, and their history is nothing less than genocide and the planned ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. The BNP Acting Chairman also called it ‘despicable’.
Tarique Rahman expressed deep concern about the safety and security of many Bangladeshis living and working in the Middle East and the Gulf region. He noted that the actions of the current Israeli government are pushing the entire region into an abyss.
In the post, he called on the international community to condemn and exert pressure on the Israeli government’s settlement plans. At the same time, he called on the International Court of Justice to rule on the Israeli government’s clear genocide in Gaza without delay. Because the Palestinians are suffering even more.
It is worth noting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is officially moving forward with a plan to expand new Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. If this project is implemented, the formation of a Palestinian state in the future will become practically impossible. In light of this, Netanyahu signed an agreement on Thursday. Through this agreement, the West Bank will be practically divided into two parts and new Jewish settlements will be built.
“We are going to fulfill our promise – there will be no Palestinian state. This place is ours. We are going to double the population of the city,” Benjamin Netanyahu said at a ceremony in the Israeli settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, east of Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, 21 countries, including the UK, Australia and Japan, have recently condemned Israel’s new settlement plan.
