JAKARTA Minister of Culture Fadli Zon emphasized that President Prabowo Subianto's speech at the UN General Assembly, New York, Tuesday, September 23, local time, became a historic momentum. Indonesia appears firmly in favor of justice, humanity, and the sustainability of world civilization.

According to Fadli, the President's speech did not only touch the political aspects and international relations. More than that, Prabowo reminded the importance of the dimensions of history and culture. President Prabowo emphasized that recognition of Palestine is a step on the right side of history. The world will assess the attitude of every nation at this critical moment," he said in Jakarta, Tuesday, September 23.

Fadli assessed that the President's statement was a call for conscience that surpassed practical politics. Defending Palestine means preserving historical honor. The values of civilization, justice, dignity, and solidarity must not be erased from human records," he stressed.

He added that the tragedy in Palestine was a cultural crisis. There has been a systematic elimination of the identity of the Palestinian people. Cultural sites are destroyed, artists are silenced, cultural expressions are prohibited. This is a form of cultural genocide," he concluded.

Israel's brutal attacks on historical sites, artrooms, and the Palestinian community of artists are attacks on collective identities. Every destroyed cultural heritage, every manuscript that is destroyed, every artist who dies is lost to the world. This conflict is an attempt to erase the memory of Palestinian civilization. Solidarity for Palestine is solidarity for civilization," said Fadli.

The Ministry of Culture, he continued, will oversee Palestinian issues through cultural diplomacy with the international community, UNESCO, and global partners. The program includes digitizing Palestinian cultural heritage, promoting Palestinian literature and arts to the world public, to the residence of Palestinian artists abroad, including Indonesia.

"Cultural diplomacy keeps the Palestinian identity alive. Indonesia is ready to ensure that the voices of Palestine's culture, works of art and collective memory continue to echo even in the midst of physical and humanitarian destruction," he said.

Fadli also emphasized Prabowo's speech at the United Nations emphasized Indonesia's political consistency. Since the beginning of independence, support for Palestine has become a constitutional and moral mandate. President Prabowo closed his speech with calls, peace, peace now. Peace immediately. That is a historical echo that will be remembered as the voice of Indonesia for humanity," he concluded.
