Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) seems friendly with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The two were seen holding hands during a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Extraordinary Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
Jokowi shared this moment of intimacy via his personal Instagram account. He said Indonesia and Turkey agreed to continue working together to resolve the conflict in Gaza.
“[Indonsia dan Turki] “continue to support the struggle of the Palestinian people, including in realizing Palestinian independence,” said Jokowi, quoted on Sunday (12/11/2023).
In his speech to the leaders of Islamic countries, Jokowi firmly condemned Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip. He also made 4 demands before the world.
First, Jokowi demands an immediate ceasefire from Israel. He said that Israel had carried out unfair collective punishment for Palestinians.
Second, Jokowi asked that humanitarian aid to Palestine be accelerated and expanded. Jokowi said Indonesia continued to send humanitarian aid to Palestine and more would be added. He hopes that OIC countries can propose a sustainable assistance mechanism.
Third, Jokowi asked the OIC to mobilize all its forces to hold Israel accountable for crimes committed against Palestine.
Fourth, Jokowi urged the OIC to carry out peace negotiations, so that a solution can be found for both parties. He rejected the idea of a solution for one country or one state solution, because according to him it would definitely sacrifice Palestine.
