Confusion as Bangladesh drops ‘except Israel’ from new passports
Changes made for ‘administrative convenience,’ ban on travel to Israel remains unchanged, says Bangladeshi FM
Bangladeshi passports will no longer bear the text “valid for all countries of the world except Israel,” officials confirmed on Sunday.
The Bangladeshi passports earlier had a note written on them that said: “This passport is valid for all countries of the world except Israel”.
But, just a few months ago, Bangladesh dropped two words, except Israel , from the new electronic passports.
Since the South Asian Muslim majority country came into being in 1971, it has openly affirmed its position in favor of Palestine and against the Israeli oppression in the occupied Palestinian territories.
