JAKARTA - Vice President (Vice President) Ma'ruf Amin said the Government of Indonesia and Saudi Arabia had shown a shared commitment in supporting efforts to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
"Indonesia appreciates the joint efforts with Saudi Arabia within the framework of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to raise support for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," said the Vice President, quoted from an official statement from the Press Bureau of the Vice Presidential Secretariat, Wednesday, May 1, which was confiscated by Antara.
It is known, in addition to preparing for the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage, the Vice President also discussed resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict when receiving an honorary visit (courtesy call) of the Minister of Hajj and Umrah of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Tawfiq bin Fauzan Al-Rabiah, at the Vice Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Tuesday, April 30.
The vice president revealed that the worsening situation had created security destabilization in the region. The Indonesian government has consistently voiced rejection of what Israel has done against the Palestinian people.
"Indonesia encourages all parties to immediately stop violence and ensure that the distribution of humanitarian aid is acceptable to the Palestinian people," said the Vice President.
As a member of the OIC, the Vice President said that both Indonesia and Saudi Arabia had also shown a shared commitment in supporting efforts to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Responding to this, the Minister of Hajj and Umrah of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Tawfiq bin Fauzan Al-Rabiah, emphasized that the Government of Saudi Arabia is in line with the commitment of the Government of Indonesia in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"Regarding the Palestinian issue, we also agree with Your Majesty that what has happened there is a very real violation of the colonial state, namely Israel," said Tawfiq.
Saudi Arabia, he said, appreciated Indonesia's position, which has been firm and consistent in defending the rights of the Palestinian people.
"As His Majesty knows, because of Saudi Arabia's very high determination to defend the rights of the Palestinian people, we have held the Extraordinary OIC Summit last October in Riyadh and the President of the Republic of Indonesia was also present on the occasion," he said.
Tawfiq revealed that the OKI Summit has also set a very important resolution, one of which is forming a committee consisting of foreign ministers, including Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi.
The committee is intensively working together to carry out various kinds of diplomatic efforts to help the Palestinian struggle.
"The committee of foreign ministers (the countries that are members of the OIC) have made various kinds of diplomatic efforts, including visiting several capitals from important countries," said Tawfiq.
