Israel's barbaric attack on Palestinian Muslims has shaken the world humanity. The world Muslim community and humanitarians are shocked today. In various countries of the world, protests are held for the protection of Palestinians in protest against this attack by Israel. 

The music in the sky-air of Palestine continues, the air is heavy with the cry of loss of relatives. Authorities are struggling to provide services to injured patients in hospitals. The ongoing violence is increasing day by day. All sane people of the world are shocked by the Israeli hellish brutality in Palestine. History tells us that the conflict between Palestine and Israel has been going on for almost eight decades. This conflict-violence is rising again. This conflict is not only limited to Israel and Palestine but the tension of the conflict on this issue has spread in the world community. Reactions to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war have been felt worldwide. 

On the morning of the 7th of this month, Hamas fighters suddenly entered Israel and attacked. In response, the Israeli army began bombing Gaza. Israel's airstrikes have left many parts of Gaza City in dust. According to media reports, Israelis killed more than 800 people by attacking a hospital in Gaza on Tuesday. A large part of the victims are women and children. 

Soul agents of democracy and human rights Western countries such as the United States, Britain, Germany, etc. have sided with Israel despite the war crimes of more than 800 people killed in the horrific bombing of the hospital. US President Joe Biden himself went to Israel to show solidarity with the Zionists. In order to absolve the Israelis of the responsibility of killing more than 800 people by bombing the hospital, he said that someone else had carried out the attack. Shameful Israelis dare not directly deny responsibility for the hospital bombing, but are Jewish. The US President's condonation of nominal neo-Nazis is shameful. Note, US President Joe Biden visited Israel on Wednesday to show support for the barbaric attacks on Palestinians in Gaza. 

The US President landed in Israel at 11 am local time. He then met with Prime Minister Netanyahu. In a briefing after the meeting, Biden said that it was not Israel that attacked the Al-Ahli Al-Arabi hospital in Gaza, but someone else. At this time, he addressed Netanyahu and said, "Not you, it seems that some other group has carried out a deadly bomb attack on a hospital in Gaza." Biden, however, also said that he was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza! Netanyahu said, based on what I saw, it seems that another party did this, not you. Biden told reporters that the number of US citizens killed in Hamas attacks in Israel has risen to 31. The US President also claimed that he went to Israel to inform the people of Israel and the world about the position of the United States. It would not be too far wrong to say that Israel's policy is enough to unmask the country's rhetoric about democracy and human rights that keeps the world on edge'.

The Arab Emirates has been playing a strong role in the Palestinian issue since the beginning. Although earlier, the UN Security Council rejected the proposal brought by Russia to stop the ongoing war between Gaza and Israel. But it is hoped that China, UAE and Gabon voted in favor of Russia's proposal. Russia and the United Arab Emirates have again called for an emergency meeting of the Security Council recently in the wake of the airstrike on a hospital in Gaza. With Russia and China on its side, the Middle East will now gradually be able to play a stronger role in the Palestine issue. Aljazeera, BBC journalists who are reporting from Gaza are real life heroes. These journalists are thwarting the medieval genocide plot of Israel and America in Gaza by shutting down electricity, water and internet facilities.

The United States has already announced humanitarian aid to Gaza and the West Bank of Palestine. This assistance will be provided through various international organisations including the United Nations. This information was given in a statement from the White House. News from Anadolu Agency. At the same time, US President Joe Biden has announced assistance to Israel. However, compared to Palestine, the size of this aid is 100 times more. The people of Palestine today are in doubt, facing a humanitarian disaster. 

UN emergency relief coordinator Martin Griffiths told CNN Europe that we need 100 trucks of humanitarian aid every day. So huge numbers of trucks need to start entering Gaza. Meanwhile, the European Union (EU), a coalition of European countries, has suspended the payment of 729 million dollars of aid allocated for the development of Palestine and the Palestinian people. At present, the important institutions of the Muslim world have expressed their solidarity and support in the Palestinian resistance campaign. Egypt, Jordan, Algeria as well as the world-renowned Al-Azhar University expressed solidarity with the Palestinians and called on the international community to stand by the Palestinian issue. In a statement released last Saturday, Al-Azhar authorities condoled the silence of the modern world over the loss of innocent Palestinian lives. 

At the same time, the international community is demanded to view the long-term occupation of Palestinian land by the Zionists with reason and wisdom. Al-Azhar authorities express their condolences to the silent world over the loss of innocent Palestinian lives, the statement said. Also saluted the Palestinian people for their determination. May Almighty Allah inspire them to stand up against the tyranny and terrorism of the Zionists and in the face of the shameful silence of the international world Calling this occupation a "disgrace", the statement said, "The occupation of Palestinian land by the Zionist authorities is the longest occupation in modern history." It is a disgrace to the international community and humanity; On the issue of Palestine it will be doubled. In this ongoing war, several superpowers and powerful countries of the world stand for Palestine. A number of powerful countries have called for a solution through a two-state policy. 

The countries that stand strongly for Palestine are India, China, Iran, Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, North Korea and many other countries. Due to the emerging crisis, basic rights including electricity and fuel are not being established in Palestine. Like many humanitarian countries in the world, Bangladesh has extended its hand to help the Palestinians. In a conference held at the United Nations Headquarters, Bangladesh has pledged 50,000 USD to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) for 2023. Humanitarian countries, including the Arab and Muslim countries of the world, should extend the hand of world humanity to the Palestinians. The nations of the world, including the United Nations, must take all measures to protect peace and order in Palestine from a humanitarian point of view.
