Indonesian Ministry Of Foreign Affairs: Global Recognition Is Very Important To Provide Palestine An Equivalent Position

JAKARTA - Indonesia welcomes global recognition of Palestine and will continue to garner support for the status of the Palestinian state and the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

This statement is in line with the ratification of the New York Declaration by the United Nations General Assembly regarding the two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in Friday's vote last week.

Spokesperson for the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs II Vahd Nabyl A. Mulachela said Indonesia consistently supports all efforts at the United Nations aimed at expanding global recognition of Palestine.

"For Indonesia, global recognition is very important to provide Palestine with an equal position in the peace process," Vahd said in a statement, Monday, September 15.

Vahd further said, "Indonesia will certainly continue to consistently improve coordination with various countries and international organizations to garner support for the status of the Palestinian state and achieve an immediate ceasefire in Gaza."

"For example, at the OKI Extraordinary Foreign Ministers' Conference on August 25, 2025, Indonesia and other Islamic countries united their voices against Israel's plans to carry out a permanent occupation on a large scale in Palestine and Gaza's annexation," Nabyl explained.

"In addition, Indonesia also continues to be committed to providing humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza, including offers to evacuate patients who need emergency care as requested by the Director General of WHO," he said.

It is known that the UN General Assembly approved the New York Declaration on a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict at a vote attended by 193 countries last Friday, quoted from the United Nations website.

142 member countries expressed their support, while 10 countries (Israel, the United States, Argentina, Hungary, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay and Tonga refused. Meanwhile, 12 countries declared abstain, including Albania, Cameroon to Guatemala.

New York's declaration of 7 pages was the result of an international meeting at the United Nations in July organized by Saudi Arabia and France.

In remarks in the opening segment, UN Secretary-General Ant Totalio Guterres noted "The central question for Middle Eastern peace is the implementation of a two-state solution, in which two independent, sovereign, and democratic Israel and Palestine coexist in peace and security."

Prior to the vote, French Ambassador Jér Maritimeme Bonnafont reminded New York's declaration "compiled a single roadmap to realize a two-state solution".

This involved an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages who occupied it there, and the formation of a viable and sovereign Palestinian State.

The roadmap further calls for the depletion of Hamas weapons and excludes them from the Government in Gaza, normalization of relations between Israel and Arab countries, as well as collective security guarantees.
