JAKARTA - Member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Amelia Anggraini, welcomed the ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group, Hamas. He hopes that both parties are fully committed to implementing this ceasefire.

"So that there are no more military activities that endanger the lives of civilians in Gaza and Palestine in general," Amelia said, Thursday, January 16.

Amelia called on Israel and countries that have mediated this ceasefire, namely Egypt, Qatar, and the United States to provide real security guarantees for the United Nations (UN) and other humanitarian agencies.

"So that they can safely and freely send humanitarian aid and health workers to Gaza," Amelia said.

According to the NasDem Kapoksi at the House of Representatives' Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Agency, this step is very important to ensure that basic needs are met.

"Protect human rights, and restore the lives of Palestinians," concluded Amelia.

As reported, Israel and Hamas on Wednesday, January 15, agreed to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, which has the potential to end a 15-month brutal invasion of the Zionist military in the Palestinian enclave that has killed 46,707 Palestinians.

Qatar Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani announced the agreement saying the agreement would take effect on January 19.
