Thousands of people in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh marched on August 29, after Friday prayers at the Baitul Mukarram Mosque, calling for an end to the war in Gaza and urging Muslim leaders to unite against Israel, said and Anadolu report.
Following the prayers, religious leaders read out a 10-point declaration addressed to the international community and the United Nations, demanding an immediate halt to what they described as massacres in Gaza and calling on Muslim nations to stand together in defence of Palestinians.
Israel has killed at least 63,000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing man-made famine.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
