Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Friday
(September 27) urged the global leaders to enforce an immediate and complete
ceasefire to protect the Palestinian people from brutalities along with holding
accountable all those responsible for the crimes against humanity in Palestine.
He made the call while addressing the 79th session of the United Nations
General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
The
chief adviser said the genocide in Gaza continues unabated despite global
concerns and condemnation.
"The
situation in Palestine just does not concern the Arabs or Muslims at large
rather the entire humanity. Palestinians are no expendable people. All those
responsible for the crimes against humanity against the Palestinian people must
be held accountable," he said.
Prof
Yunus said Bangladesh calls for an immediate and complete ceasefire to protect
the Palestinian people from the brutalities, particularly against the children
and women.
He
suggested that the international community, including the UN, needs to act in
earnest to implement the two-state solution that remains the only path to bring
lasting peace in the Middle-East.
The
Nobel Laureate said the two and a half year long war in Ukraine has claimed far
too many lives and the war has impacted far and wide, even lending deeper
economic implications in Bangladesh.
"We
would urge both sides to pursue dialogue to resolve the differences and end the
war," he said.
