As President Prabowo Subianto traveled to the Middle East and Turkey on Wednesday ( Apr 9 ) and estimated there might be 1, 000 Palestinians hit by the war in Gaza, Indonesia is prepared to temporarily shelter them.
Jokowi said he has instructed his foreign secretary to explore how to move impacted Palestinians to Indonesia, a country with a Muslim majority, within a day with the Israeli side and other parties.
The survivors would be in Indonesia partially until they have completely recovered from their wounds and the position in Gaza was healthy for their return, according to Prabowo.” We are ready to leave the wounded, the traumatized, the orphans,” he continued.
Jakarta has sent humanitarian aid and has pushed for a two-state option.
Israel’s conflict in Gaza was sparked in October 2023 when, according to Israeli records, Hamas soldiers killed 1,200 people in southern Israel and held some 250 captives.
More than 50 000 Palestinians have been killed since then as a result of Israel’s military plan, according to Israeli government.
