JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo pushed for a situation resolution in Palestine when he met the President of the United Nations General Assembly Dennis Francis on the sidelines of the 10th World Water Forum Summit in Bali.
During the meeting which took place at the Bali International Convention Center (BICC), Badung, Bali, Jokowi appreciated the progress at the UN General Assembly regarding the status of Palestine, but stressed that more action was needed to resolve the conflict.
According to President Jokowi, the root of the conflict problem is that Israel's illegal population of Palestinian land must be resolved.
"We must not stop here, the root of the conflict must be resolved, namely the illegal occupation of Israel of Palestinian land," said Jokowi as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, May 20.
Jokowi emphasized that the process at the UN General Assembly must reflect efforts to achieve a two-state solution.
