JAKARTA - Indonesia's Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi stated that Indonesia calls for the realization of a two-state solution in accordance with international parameters that have been agreed to end the conflict in Gaza, Palestine.
"We still have work to do, namely the peace
process to achieve a two-state solution based on agreed international
parameters," Marsudi remarked in a meeting with Commission I of the
Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) in Jakarta.
The minister emphasized that the two-state
solution being persistently pushed by Indonesia to end the conflict in Gaza
must be based on agreed international parameters and ratified by several
resolutions of the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly that should
be implemented.
Marsudi noted that realizing a two-state
solution was a long-term challenge that should be pursued to stop the root
causes of the conflict in Gaza.
"Right now, we are trying to address the
short-term problems, such as humanitarian issues, humanitarian assistance, and
ceasefire. However, the root of the problem is long-term, namely realizing the
peace talk to achieve a two-state solution," she stated.
Moreover, the minister remarked that Indonesia
is also encouraging the immediate addressal of the issue of humanitarian
assistance in Gaza.
"The issue of humanitarian aid is a
short-term problem that we must address for the sake of many people's lives. We
must treat wounded civilians and save babies born prematurely. Hence, we put
humanitarian issues first," she stated.
Earlier, during a joint working meeting with
Commission I of DPR RI, the minister presented four topics regarding the
situation in Gaza and the efforts made by Indonesia.
"I will convey four big things. The first
is the current situation in Gaza. The second is protection for Indonesian
citizens. The third is the provision of humanitarian assistance by Indonesia,
and the fourth is Indonesia's political support and diplomatic efforts,"
she remarked. (ANTARA)
