JAKARTA - The name of the Governor of Central Java (Central Java) Ganjar Pranowo is in the spotlight after stating that he rejects the presence of the Israeli national team at the U-20 World Cup. Moreover, the refusal of the PDIP politician is allegedly the cause of Indonesia's cancellation as the host of the world football party. Traffic, will the public spotlight affect Ganjar's drop in electability as a presidential candidate? Political observer and Executive Director of Indonesia Political Opinion (IPO), Dedi Kurnia Syah assessing that there are two things that can happen for Ganjar and his party. First, PDIP could get additional sympathy from the pro-Palestinian voters, as well as Ganjar who is aggressively doing propaganda for the orientation of the 2024 presidential election. "It's just that what they don't think about is that pro-Palestinian voters are already strong enough in other parties, namely PKS, so that the efforts of PDIP and Ganjar will actually be considered limited to finding a stage at the wrong time," said Dedi to VOI, Thursday, 30. March. "This situation could be sympathy for getting, but not adding to voters, the potential has decreased," he continued. On the other hand, continued Dedi, PDIP voters who have been more open to Israel, will feel pressured because the party's stance bearing the white-nosed bull is not as usual. Even for football matters that have a large number of fans, they can change into disappointment with the attitude of PDIP and Ganjar. "This means that the sympathy in them can not increase votes, voters The existing loyalty tends to be disappointed and leaves Ganjar and PDIP," said Dedi. "This, added Dedi, can be interpreted as a disaster for Ganjar's electability. "Ganjar is unable to control his ambition as a figure who is passionate about sympathy, but fails to express bigger ideas and ideas," he added. Can Disturb PDIP and Jokowi's Relations While the second thing that can happen, said Dedi, the U-20 World Cup should be the material for President Joko Widodo's propaganda. Jokowi It requires praise in the midst of a deteriorating economic situation, as well as the government's reputation, so this failure is clearly disappointing for the two-term president. "And PDIP is considered the mastermind, so Jokowi and PDIP's relations can be disrupted," said Dedi. According to Dedi, the rejection of Israel by two of its cadres who are governors, namely Ganjar and Bali Governor I Wayan Koster, can be considered that PDIP is a hypocritical party. The potential for voters to be left behind must be ready to face by PDIP. "Of course PDIP is considered a hypocritical party in this regard, because of the anomaly of rejection of Israel which actually does not describe PDIP's political policies so far. The chances of being left behind by voters, especially young groups will be large enough to face PDIP," he concluded. Previously, Ganjar Pranowo stated that he refused the Israeli national team to come to Indonesia. If necessary, said Ganjar, there were efforts so that the U-20 World Cup could run successfully without the presence of the Israeli national team. "In the context (World Cup) U-20 we encourage the efforts that must be made by the government. In this case, it is necessary to break through so that U-20 remains successful but does not present Israel," said Ganjar in a written statement, Thursday, March 23. Ganjar supports the PDIP's attitude in rejecting the presence of the Israeli national team in the U-20 World Cup event in Indonesia. He requested that the committee and related parties seek breakthrough steps so that the U-20 World Cup can run without sacrificing the commitment of the nation's founders. "So "The implementation of the U-20 World Cup can be done without sacrificing our long commitment to realizing independent Palestine. As well as maintaining social-political peace within Indonesia," he said. Ganjar also reasoned that his rejection of the presence of the Israeli national team was none other than because he adhered to Bung Karno's mandate regarding Palestinian independence. This then made the number one person in Central Java voice his rejection of the Israeli national team. "We already know "How is Bung Karno's commitment to Palestine, both voiced at the Asia Africa Conference, Non-Aligned Movement, and also at the Conference of the New Emerging Forces. So yes, we follow his mandate," said Ganjar.

Ganjar also admitted to observing the emergence of political groups in the Israeli government that refuse to recognize the existence of an independent Palestinian nation and state. "Therefore, it is important for us to continue to voice our support for the struggle of the independent Palestinians," he said.
