JAKARTA - A woman sympathizers of the protesters from the Plaintiff People's Alliance (ARM) held a poster that read "Jokowi Failed with the Israeli body symbol crossed out". The woman of the protest also stood behind a white banner bearing the words "Indonesia Government Never Had Diplomatic With Israel Government Before, What's Going On?" Along about 7 meters x 1 meter. The banner was held by as many as 5 women participating in the action. "We from the people's alliance are suing, suing the government regarding the rejection of the Israeli national team," said one of the women participating in the action to VOI Horse Statue area, Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Central Jakarta, Monday, March 20. In addition, other mass of the Alumni Brotherhood (PA) 212 who were at the location also continued to chant salawat along with the demonstration. "We reject the arrival of the Israeli U-20 national team because they are zionists who are still colonizing Palestine," shouted one of the orators on board the command car. "Let's get closer to the command car. Our action is equal to one goal," he added. Previously, the police blockaded two sections of Medan Merdeka Barat Street, Gambir District, Central Jakarta with a concrete mcb covered with barbed wire on Monday, March 20, afternoon. The closure of the road is an impact of the Alumni Brotherhood demonstration (PA) 212 related to the rejection of the Israeli National Team (Timnas) to come and compete in the U-20 World Cup Indonesia. From VOI monitoring in the field, there are not too many PA 212 masses who visited the Horse Statue area, Central Jakarta to hold such a demonstration. However, police officers have been on standby securing access to the State Palace. With a concrete layer of 150 meters, the blockade is to dispel mass movements in the event of a turmoil. In addition, water barriers are also seen in each corner of the area of the demonstration area. In fact, two tactical vehicles are also alerted at the left intersection of the road.
