JAKARTA - Chairman of the House of Representatives' Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Agency (BKSAP) Mardani Ali Sera positively welcomed the ceasefire agreement between Hamas Palestine and Israel, as stated by Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani.
However, Mardani still invites the world to oversee the implementation of the agreement, because it is feared that there will be violations committed by Israel.
"This is a very positive step and late implementation of the mandate of UN DK Resolution 2735. We must ensure through this ceasefire to immediately stop genocide in the Gaza Strip, return safe access to the entry of humanitarian aid, and withdraw all Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip," said Mardani, Thursday, January 16.
The chairman of the PKS DPP considered that the agreement was not ideal because it would only apply for six weeks starting on Sunday, January 19. Therefore, according to him, the world needs to oversee the agreement.
This is not ideal. But this is enough as a start to stop genocide. We must oversee the implementation of this agreement until it becomes a permanent agreement," he said.
Mardani also warned the international community about Israel's habit of frequently violating unilateral agreements.
"The signs are already there. Just hours after the agreement was announced, northern Gaza was again hit by brutal Israeli airstrikes targeting civilians including children and women. This is something we must be aware of together," he warned.
On the other hand, the member of Commission II of the DPR emphasized the urgency of returning UNRWA roles. Mardani said that the ratification of the law by Knesset last October which prohibited UNRWA operations was illegal.
"International law requires the power of occupation to approve and facilitate aid programs and ensure food and medical care. We at the DPR's BKSAP will bring this illegal Israeli Parliamentary decision to the Inter Parliamentary Union forum. This is because UNRWA is breath for more than six million Palestinian refugees," he said.
The Jakarta electoral district legislator also reminded that the ceasefire did not mean the escape of the perpetrators of genocide.
"This ceasefire agreement should not make the world forget to bring and punish Israel at the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court," concluded Mardani.
