JAKARTA - The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that Indonesia's position regarding the conflict in Palestine and the Two-State Solution has not changed and is very clear.

This was conveyed by the Spokesperson for the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yvonne Mewengang, regarding the appearance of a photo of President Prabowo Subianto on a number of billboards in Israel.

The billboard with the Abraham Shield logo was installed in a number of locations and in various sizes in Tel Aviv, Israel, featuring President Prabowo and King Jordan Abdullah II, United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The billboards were also accompanied by calls and support for President Trump's plans regarding the situation in the Middle East, related to ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

President Trump is also known to be trying to normalize Israel's relations with Arab countries through Abraham Accords.

"Indonesia's position is very clear, that there will be no recognition and normalization with Israel either through Abraham Accords or other platforms, unless Israel first wants to recognize an independent and sovereign Palestinian State," said RI Foreign Ministry spokesman Yvonne in a statement to reporters, as quoted Tuesday, September 30.

"This is as once emphasized by the Indonesian Foreign Minister that any vision related to Israel must start from recognition of Palestinian independence and sovereignty," he said.

Last week, President Prabowo attended the High Level Week of the UN General Assembly in New York twice affirming Indonesia's readiness to recognize Israel and support its security guarantee, after Palestine gained independence and was recognized as a country.

This was conveyed by President Prabowo on two occasions, first the High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Questionion of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution on September 22, a day later in the General Debate of the 80th UN General Assembly.

On the same day as the General Debate, President Prabowo attended a meeting entitled "Multilateral Meeting on the Middle East" at President Trump's invitation. The meeting held at the United Nations Security Council Consultation Room (UN), New York, Tuesday local time, was attended on a limited basis by countries deemed to be able to help realize the peace process in the Middle East.

Apart from President Trump and President Prabowo, present at the meeting were Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Emir Qatar Sheikh Tamim ibn Hamad Al Thani, Jordanian King Abdullah II, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud.

These countries are seen as President Trump as having a major influence and a real contribution to regional peace efforts.

"The meeting was productive in the sense that it was quite advanced in efforts to resolve the Middle East conflict, achieving peace and a ceasefire," said Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono regarding President Trump's meeting with President Prabowo and a number of representatives of the Arab-Islamic country.

Separately, AbrahamShild25's account in a post on social media X wrote, "Israel's coalition for Regional Security has launched a new national billboard campaign urging the government to support President Donald Trump's initiative to end the war in Gaza and expand the Abrahamic Agreement."

"The Coalition of a non-partisan group consisting of 120+ senior leaders of Israel's security, policy and economy calls Trump's proposal a serious and responsible step towards turning Israel's military gain into a strategy," the post continued.

The post comes a day ahead of President Trump's meeting with PM Netanyahu in Washington DC on September 29. The meeting will be used by President Trump to urge Israel to accept a 21-point proposal initiated to reach a ceasefire agreement, ending the war in Gaza.

President Trump himself in an interview with Time Magazine published in April expressed his confidence to expand the Abrahamic Agreement - initiated in his first term of government - with Saudi Arabia, before later he would go to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, quoted from The Times of Israel.

It is known that Abraham Accords, which bridges Israel's relations with Arab countries, was signed by Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Israel on September 15, 2020 in Washington DC, United States. Morocco followed December 2020 and Sudan January 2021.
