JAKARTA - The Center for Islamic Studies in Finance, Economics, and Development (CISFED) encourages the Indonesian Government to take a more assertive political stance regarding the causes of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Palestine, namely as a result of the Israeli attack.
"The humanitarian situation in Gaza and the West Bank has reached a very worrying level, with strong indications of violations of international law," said CISFED Chairman Farouk Abdullah Alwyni in his statement quoted in Jakarta, Saturday, as reported by Antara.
Farouk explained that the current conditions in Palestine are a clear violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter (UN), the Geneva Conventions, to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. He emphasized that global accountability is an absolute requirement to protect civilians who continue to be victims of military aggression.
The study institute assessed that Indonesia must continue to commit to supporting Palestinian independence while rejecting Israel's military escalation to countries in the West Asian region. CISFED is concerned that attacks on Lebanon, Syria, and Iran will trigger a wider and more destructive regional conflict.
The impact of the conflict is no longer abstract for Indonesia after the incident of the death of Indonesian peacekeepers and the takeover of the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza.
According to him, the incident is proof that the interests and safety of Indonesian citizens have been directly affected by expansionist politics.
Apart from the geopolitical aspect, CISFED encourages the government to carry out strict supervision of foreign investment in strategic sectors, especially energy, which is affiliated with the Israeli corporate network. One of the special highlights is the existence of PT Ormat Geothermal Indonesia which is considered to require a more in-depth due diligence process.
