Indonesia and arround the world are supporting Palestine to reach their freedom

KN. Indonesia has once again condemned Israel’s attacks on Palestine, which resulted in increasing casualties. Indonesia also expressed concern over the deteriorating situation in Gaza and Rafah, which was exacerbated by Israel’s threat to use nuclear weapons.

“Such unreasonable statements amid the military aggression carried out by Israel against Palestine are very irresponsible. Indonesia believes that the threat to use nuclear weapons under any circumstances is contrary to international law and cannot be accepted,” said Alfiano Tamala, Indonesia’s Deputy Ambassador to Austria, Slovenia, and International Organizations in Vienna, at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Board of Governors meeting in Vienna.

Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi encouraged the Developing Eight Organization for Economic Cooperation (D-8) member countries to help Palestine jointly, amidst the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

In the D-8 Extraordinary Meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in Istanbul, Retno said that member countries namely Indonesia, Turkey, Malaysia, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, and Nigeria must strengthen the work of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for Palestine. She said D-8 members must continue to use their influence to get more countries to recognize Palestine and strive for Palestine to become a full U.N. member.

Indonesia’s Defense Minister and President-elect Prabowo Subianto intends to echo Indonesia’s readiness to help Palestinians at an emergency international conference on Gaza, scheduled to be held in Amman, Jordan. Speaking to journalists on Friday, Prabowo said President Jokowi urged him to represent Indonesia at the “Call for Action: Urgent Humanitarian Response for Gaza” Conference.

Thousands of Muslims who are members of the Muffakir Mabda’iy Alliance held an action to defend Palestine in Medan City, North Sumatra. They condemned the genocide committed by Israel against Palestinians and asked the leaders of Muslim-majority countries to take immediate action.

Thousands of Muslims in West Java participated in a demonstration to defend Palestine in Bandung city, West Java. West Java Coalition to Defend Palestine coordinator Adriansyah Ashri said this action was attended by approximately 30,000 people.

In a demonstration themed “Indonesian People’s Alliance Action to Defend Palestine” in the Horse Statue near the National Monument area, Jakarta, former Muhammadiyah Central Board Chair Din Syamsuddin called on the Indonesian government to send military aid to Gaza, Palestine to stop Israel’s attacks on the region.

This proposal is said to be the result of discussions with the Fatwa Commission of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). According to Din, Israel has committed serious human rights crimes against the Palestinian people. Furthermore, the rally also urged the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza.

Thousands of people demonstrated in front of the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta to defend Palestine. The rally was accompanied by several speeches and the waving of Palestinian flags. They urged the United States to end its support for Israel, which continues to attack the Palestinians. Apart from that, the protesters demanded that the Indonesian government send peacekeeping troops to the Palestinian territories. “Expel the invaders, the United States is a terrorist,” said the orator, followed by the crowd in action.

Thousands of people from various cities in the United States gathered outside the White House, Washington, D.C., to protest Joe Biden administration’s policy towards the Israel-Hamas war.

Indonesia strongly condemns Israel’s attack on Nuseirat refugee camp that killed more than 200 people. “Indonesia strongly condemns the repeated barbarity committed by Israel in Gaza, including in Nuseirat camp,” the Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry said on its X account.

“The international community must act immediately to stop Israel’s cruelty against civilians in Gaza. Indonesia calls for an immediate cease-fire and a permanent cessation of the war in Gaza,” it continued.

Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz quit Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, heaping domestic pressure on the Israeli leader as the war in Gaza rages. The former general and defense minister announced his resignation from the emergency body after failing to get a post-war plan for Gaza approved by Netanyahu, which he demanded in May.

The centrist politician’s departure is not expected to bring down the government, a coalition including religious and ultra-nationalist parties, but it marks the first major political blow to Netanyahu eight months into the Gaza war against Palestinian Hamas militants. Experts say Netanyahu could now be forced to rely more heavily on his right-wing partners.

Indonesia, through the Foreign Affairs Ministry, has welcomed a U.N. Security Council (UNSC) resolution for a three-phase ceasefire plan in Gaza, urging all parties to work toward ending Israel’s eight-month assault on the region.

The Foreign Ministry said on social media platform X that the adoption of the UNSC resolution was “a long overdue yet important step to stop the ongoing atrocities” against Palestinians and toward achieving an “immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza”.

Therefore, it said, “Indonesia urges all parties to reach an agreement without delay to ensure a lasting ceasefire, immediate relief for the Palestinian people and to pave the way toward the implementation of the two-state solution.”
