In his speech, Airlangga strongly condemned the war between Israel and Palestine which is still ongoing. The chairman of Golkar called for all parties to try to stop the war that had claimed lives.

He admitted that he had instructed the Chairman of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Meutya Hafid, who is also a Golkar cadre, to encourage the government to actively stop the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
