Indonesia’s Unwavering Support for Palestine: A Commitment to Peace
Jakarta – In a powerful and resolute statement, Foreign Affairs Minister Sugiono reaffirmed Indonesia’s steadfast commitment to standing with the Palestinian people in their time of need. This pledge stems from the nation’s Constitutional duty to uphold global peace and security, a responsibility that Indonesia takes to heart.
Standing Against Injustice and Atrocities
During his annual press briefing, Minister Sugiono condemned the ongoing atrocities committed by Israel in Palestine, emphasizing the human cost of these actions. The loss of thousands of Palestinian lives and the displacement of millions are not mere statistics; they represent real individuals with families, hopes, and dreams.
The minister called for accountability, stressing the importance of upholding international law without exceptions or double standards. Indonesia firmly believes in the implementation of a two-state solution based on established international parameters, with a ceasefire and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state as crucial steps towards lasting peace.
Indonesia’s Offer of Support and Action
In a bold move, Minister Sugiono expressed Indonesia’s readiness to deploy UN Peacekeepers if the UN Security Council deems it necessary. This proactive stance demonstrates Indonesia’s willingness to take concrete steps to promote stability and security in the region.
Furthermore, Indonesia’s diplomatic efforts extend beyond the Middle East, with President Prabowo Subianto actively involved in seeking a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. By advocating for dialogue and peace negotiations, Indonesia aims to play a constructive role in resolving conflicts and promoting global stability.
International Accountability and Justice
The recent developments in Gaza, including the staggering death toll of nearly 46 thousand Palestinians, have sparked international outrage and calls for justice. The ICC’s issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity underscores the gravity of the situation.
As Israel faces legal challenges at the ICC and ICJ for its actions in Gaza, Indonesia continues to advocate for unity and solidarity among D-8 nations to defend the rights of Palestinians and Lebanese people. By urging Israel to adhere to ceasefire agreements and revoke bans on humanitarian aid, Indonesia is actively working towards a peaceful and just resolution to the conflict.
In conclusion, Indonesia’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people exemplifies the nation’s commitment to promoting peace, justice, and respect for international law on the global stage. This principled stance not only reflects Indonesia’s values and beliefs but also serves as a beacon of hope for those affected by conflict and injustice worldwide.
