The Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Retno Marsudi, said that Indonesia would always stand firm in solidarity to support Palestinian independence and said that the Palestinian people had suffered for too long and had longed for peace.

The Indonesian Foreign Minister explained that a peaceful solution was the only option to resolve the conflict. She encourages dialogue and cooperation to foster strategic trust. " These are the rules of the game that we must maintain if we truly want peace," she explained.

The State of Israel will protect the Jewish population, while the State of Palestine will protect the Palestinians.
