Israel continued to bombard the Gaza Strip with airstrikes and artillery shells on Saturday, May 15.Israel even stepped up troop deployments and tanks near besieged Palestinian enclaves. According to Al-Jazeera, as of Saturday, May 15, morning, at least 137 Palestinians, including 36 children, had been killed. Meanwhile, as many as 920 people were injured.

This conflict is certainly a serious concern of the world, including Indonesia. The Parliament of Indonesia hopes that the United Nations and OIC can firmly address the humanitarian issue that takes place in the muslim holiday in the world. However, until now the world organization has not done anything.
House
Speaker of the House of Representatives Puan Maharani called on all parties to call for a halt to Israeli attacks on Palestinians. Moreover, Israeli attacks on Palestinians are carried out in the holy month of Ramadan, the atmosphere of Eid al-Fitr, and in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic." Stop Israeli attacks on Palestinians and we call for providing assistance to the Palestinian people, including the priority of COVID-19 vaccine assistance and various medical devices," Puan said, Saturday, May 15.
The PDI Perjuangan politician said that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be a momentum to restart a comprehensive and inclusive peace process, in accordance with international law, UN resolutions, and parameters of the international consensus. According to Puan, Israeli violence is also causing increased instability in the Middle East." Unfortunately, at a time when the world needs peace and unity to fight against the COVID-19 virus, but Palestinians must fight against Israel's annexation," he said. Puan also urged the Indonesian government to continue its active role in stopping Israeli attacks and providing humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people." Urging the international community and the United Nations to defuse tensions and help Palestinians who are victims in the Occupied Palestinian territories," said Puan.Senada, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Sufmi Dasco Ahmad urged the government to launch violent protests and play an active role in voicing peace on behalf of the state." Our Constitution clearly says that freedom is the right of all Nations. And the goal of an independent Indonesia is also one of them, protecting all spilled blood, maintaining world order based on lasting peace and social justice. The mandate of our constitution must be voiced aloud at the international level," said Dasco.Dasco also asked the whole community to participate in voicing peace even if it does not take to the streets, as well as pray for the victims of the tragedy of war and pray for the peace of the world." Our society should not take to the streets because the condition is being a lot of limitations. The most appropriate way we do this moment is to pray that the world will always be protected by peace, be it peace in Palestine, peace in Indonesia, or peace around the world," he said.

Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly Ahmad Basarah urged the world parliament to sit down together to discuss the humanitarian crisis in the two conflict-torn nations.
"The two countries must resolve the conflict in civilized and humane ways, and return to the negotiating table. Indonesia as a citizen of the world and adhere to an active free politics must also initiate the efforts for a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Basarah said in his statement, Friday, May 14.According to the Chairman of the DPP PDI Struggle for Foreign Affairs, currently the world community can not expect much from the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), because the United States as one of the permanent members of the UNSC has blocked the emergency meeting of the UNSC which was originally held Friday, May 14. In fact, a meeting of the UNSC with a single agenda discussing the Israeli-Palestinian feud could be canceled if one of its 15 members does not agree to the meeting being held." As a manifestation of Dasa Sila Bandung, Indonesia fully supports the establishment of a Palestinian state. Proklamator of the Republic of Indonesia Bung Karno since the Asian-African Conference was held has been determined to fight for countries that are not yet independent including Palestine, and refused Israel to be involved in the preparation of the conference," he said. Furthermore, he deplores all organizations from Muslim-majority countries both from the government level such as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), from the parliamentary level such as the parliamentary union of the OIC Member States (PUIC), as well as from non-governmental levels such as the World Muslim League which has not been seen to the maximum fight for the rights and independence of the Palestinian people." For Indonesia, the establishment of a Palestinian state is an unwar offerable attitude. Therefore, Indonesia also consistently supports unification resolutions that carry the settlement of 'Two Countries' that are peacefully side by side based on the boundaries set in 1967. As long as the independence of the Palestinian nation has not been handed over to the Palestinians, then during that time the Indonesian nation stands against israeli occupation," basarah said, referring to bung Karno's statement.According to the Chairman of the GMNI Alumni Association, in the fight for justice for Palestine, OIC member states are actually good enough because it has a special program for it, but this organization does not have the political power to pressure its members to run the program. While PUIC as an international organization established since 1999 in Tehran, Iran, and consisting of 54 parliaments and 21 observers from regional and international parliamentary organizations face internal obstacles in the form of extreme attitudes in the religion of some members and ignore the concept of deliberation. Therefore, the former activist in 1998 proposed that the leaders of the PEOPLE's Consultative Assembly, DPR RI and DPD RI together take concrete initiatives to gather all the leaders of the world parliament, especially from Muslim-majority countries, to sit down together to discuss the Palestinian-Israeli issue in a 'shura'. The location of the high-level meeting can be done in Jakarta or other cities that are considered strategic and neutral." I am optimistic that the Indonesian parliament along with the parliaments of other Muslim countries can become the locomotive of Palestinian-Israeli peace because Indonesia has a philosophical-constitutional basis as the Opening of the 1945 NRI Constitution that wants all colonization on the face of the earth to be abolished. Indonesia is also obliged to participate in maintaining world peace based on lasting peace and justice. Consequences as a country that embraces active free politics, Indonesia must always be active in creating world peace,'' he explained. He also emphasized that during the time of President Sukarno, Indonesia was known as one of the world leaders, especially for countries that had just escaped colonialism and colonialism, which carried out a free-active foreign policy. World leadership is held by Indonesia, among others, in the Asian-African Conference, Conference of New Emerging Forces (Conefo), Games of New Emerging Forces (Ganefo) and other Non-Aligned Movement activities.
