"While expressing deep condolences and sympathies to the Palestinians, we call on international community to put pressure on Israel to stop the atrocities immediately, "the foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

Bangladesh also expressed its dismay at the United States’ move to shift its embassy to Jerusalem.

Bangladesh stressed preserving the legal status of Jerusalem within the framework of relevant UN resolutions.

It reaffirmed its position in favour of establishing the State of Palestine on the basis of two-state solution and on the pre- 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
