JAKARTA - Member of Commission I DPR RI Elnino Husein Mohi assessed that Donald Trump's policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict echoed from campaigns to winning the 2024 United States (US) presidential election did not intersect with Indonesian policy.
RI since the era of the 1st President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno to the 8th President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto is known to fully support Pelestina's independence. Meanwhile, the US in a number of policies is next to Israel which invaded Palestine.
"We view it (Israel-Palestinian conflict, red) as purely a humanitarian problem. Well, in this case, Indonesia and the US have similarities and differences," Elnino told VOI, Thursday, November 7.
Elnino said that in a number of views, Indonesia and the US have a similar perspective on the purely humanitarian Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While striking differences include the military alliance.
"So, we agree, yes, that this is a war because it is humanity, not a religious war," said Elnino.

Elnino encouraged the Indonesian people to respond to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict more wisely by looking at the similarities than widening their differences with the US.
"Well, Prabowo's presidency and Donald Trump's presidency certainly know about this. Therefore, they will position themselves appropriately, about when to become friends and when and in what context they are opponents," he said.
"What is clear is that Indonesia is a non-block country that implements active free foreign politics. For whose benefit? Yes, for the benefit of all of us as citizens of the Republic of Indonesia," continued Elnino.
