JAKARTA - Member of Commission VIII of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Luqman Hakim condemned the closure of the Al Aqsa Mosque by Israel. According to him, the closure is proof that Israel is committing crimes against humanity.
"Israel has used war as a tool to carry out genocide of the Palestinian people. The closure of the Al Aqsa Mosque clearly violates international conventions on human rights, and the prohibition on destroying places of worship in a state of war," Luqman told reporters, Wednesday, October 25.
"I strongly condemn Israel's actions in closing the Al Aqsa Mosque," he continued.
The PKB Party politician also criticized Israel for killing civilians, women and children.
"The humanitarian crimes committed by Israel have clearly exceeded the boundaries of humanity and divinity," said Luqman.
Therefore, Luqman asked the Indonesian government to be more actively involved in efforts to resolve and end Israel's colonization of Palestine.
"The Indonesian government must take a firm position, not neutral but on the side of Palestine," said Luqman.
He also hopes that the Indonesian government can actively mobilize solidarity from countries in the world to work together to prevent the continuation of the genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel.
"My demands are in line with the Indonesian Constitution which states that all forms of colonialism in the world must be abolished forever," said Luqman.
