The emergency conference of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is starting in Jeddah on October 18 at the invitation of Saudi Arabia. The delegation of Bangladesh will join the conference organized in Jeddah on the Palestine crisis like other Muslim countries. Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen said this on Sunday.
Israeli airstrikes in the besieged Gaza Strip continue for the eighth day. Last Saturday (October 7), the Hamas fighters of Gaza launched a terrible rocket attack on the mainland of Israel. In response, Israeli forces launched a counterattack in Gaza within a few hours. About 3,000 people have lost their lives so far in counter-attacks on both sides. As is customary, Tel Aviv orders evacuations before airstrikes.
