Bangladesh yesterday condoled the death of a Palestinian infant and sympathised with his injured parents and four-year-old brother as they were attacked by Israeli settlers recently.

The arson attack was launched on their house in the town of Duma of West Bank on July 31.

Bangladesh termed it a "cowardly attack" and demanded trial of the perpetrators, says a foreign ministry statement.
