JAKARTA - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu) expressed support for the decision of the International Court (ICJ) which ordered Israel to immediately stop the attack on Rafah, Gaza, Palestine.

"Indonesia supports the decision of the International Court instructing Israel to immediately stop its military operations in Rafah," said the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its official account, @Kemlu_RI on X, Sunday, May 26.

In addition to supporting the halt to attacks, the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also supports the decision of the International Court instructing Israel to guarantee open access to the Gaza Strip for fact-finding commissions or other investigative institutions to investigate Israel's genocide.

In addition, Indonesia also urged Israel to immediately comply with the steps ordered by the International Court without reservation, and underlined the importance of the role of the UN Security Council in ensuring its implementation.

The International Court on Friday, May 24, ordered Israel to immediately stop the military offensive on Rafah.

In addition, ICJ also demanded that Israel allow fact seekers and investigators from various UN agencies to investigate allegations of genocide and store existing evidence.

"The situation has deteriorated since the last verdict was issued on January 26 and March 28," said ICJ Chief Judge Nawaf Salam at the Peace Palace in The Hague.
