Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas has expressed his gratitude on behalf of the people and the government of Palestine to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for her unparalleled support and assistance to the persecuted people of the Gaza Strip.
President Abbas sent a message to Sheikh Hasina to express his gratitude recently.
“As the people of Palestine go through the most horrific genocide, living in conditions unimaginable in the human mind and conditions that cannot be accepted by the human soul, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has offered an unparalleled hand to help the persecuted people of the Gaza Strip. The prime minister has generously offered to provide Tk50 million in humanitarian aid support to the innocent children, orphans and residents in Gaza, who are unjustly paying the price of Israel’s criminal aggression,” said a statement from the Palestine Embassy in Bangladesh.
This is not the first time that the prime minister has shown her humanity. During the first week of Israel’s onslaught in Gaza, she sent batches of medicines and basic raw materials, followed by another batch the week after, it said.
“Bangladesh has shown unyielding support for Palestinians. Bangladesh became the first nation to offer to intervene in South Africa’s case against Israel in the International Court of Justice. Bangladesh has also expressed its readiness to host the largest possible number of students from the Gaza Strip, especially female students, to study in Bangladeshi universities through full scholarships. The prime minister has also consistently urged all countries to recognize the State of Palestine,” said the statement issued by Ambassador Yousef SY Ramadan.

“The prime minister has stood with Palestine since she began her political career, taking after her father, the Father of the Nation, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who had supported and assisted the just struggle that the people of Palestine have been waging for freedom and independence—the toughest national movement in history. Our late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in particular bore witness to the principled position of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the courageous stance taken by Bangladesh in the divisive international stage under his leadership.”
“As the Palestinian Ambassador in Bangladesh, it is most necessary that I express, on behalf of my people, the extent of our appreciation for Bangladesh and the prime minister’s exemplary stance at this historically difficult time in Palestine, when many in the world are choosing, willingly, to stand on the wrong side of history,” said Yousef Ramadan.
