JAKARTA - Indonesia expressed concern over the escalation of the security situation in the Middle East and called for Iran and Israel to exercise restraint.

"Indonesia urges the UN Security Council to act immediately to reduce tensions and continue to strive to create peace in the Middle East," the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said via social media X on Sunday night.

RI also asked the UN DK to immediately stop the illegal occupation of Palestine and various violations of international law by Israel. In this case, Indonesia reiterated that a fair resolution of Palestinian problems through a two-state solution would be the key to creating regional security stability.

The latest hostilities between Iran and Israel were triggered by an attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria, on April 1. The attack killed at least seven members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including two important generals. Iran accuses Israel of being responsible for the fatal attack.

Iran then launched a counter-attack by firing dozens of ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones at Israel on Saturday night (13/4). The attack, according to Israel, was thwarted and only hit a military air base in Israel but caused no serious damage.
