The General Chairperson of the Nahdlatul Ulama Executive Board KH Yahya Cholil Staquf assessed that Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto demonstrated Indonesia's consistent foreign policy towards Palestine and Israel.
"President Prabowo's statement about Indonesia's readiness to recognize the existence of the state of Israel on the condition that the existence of the state of Palestine is recognized and established, is consistent with the two-state solution policy that Indonesia has confirmed from the start," said Gus Yahya in his statement in Jakarta, Saturday.
Gus Yahya views the importance of solid consolidation from international circles so that this firm stance can be realized in real steps and agendas.
"What needs to be done next is to conduct international mobilization and consolidation through legitimate multilateral platforms to roll out a decisive political process towards realizing the two-state solution," he said.
The PBNU chairman emphasized that the main priority at this time is to save the lives of thousands of children, women and elderly people from the threat of violence due to war.
This goal, he said, can be achieved by inspiring and demanding the international community to comply with existing agreements.
