President Prabowo Calls for Immediate Recognition of Palestine at UN Conference
New York, The Gulf Observer: Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto reaffirmed his country’s unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, urging immediate recognition of Palestine’s statehood during the High-Level Conference on Palestine and the Two-State Solution at the United Nations Headquarters on Monday.
“The recognition of the state of Palestine is the right side of history. To those who forget to act, we say history does not stand still. We must recognize Palestine now,” President Prabowo declared in his address.
The President strongly condemned all acts of violence against civilians in Gaza and stressed the urgent need to assume historical responsibility—not only for the future of Palestine but also for Israel and the credibility of the United Nations itself. “Only this two-state solution will lead to peace,” he emphasized.
Prabowo further underlined that ending the war in Gaza must be the international community’s top priority. He appealed to world leaders to overcome hatred, fear, and suspicion in pursuit of peace, stating: “We must stop the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Ending the war must be our utmost priority. We must achieve the peace that is necessary for the human family.”
Reiterating Indonesia’s commitment to contribute to global peace efforts, the President announced his country’s readiness to deploy peacekeeping forces in support of the peace process. “We are ready to take our part in this journey towards peace. We are willing to provide peacekeeping forces. Please, now. Peace immediately,” he concluded.
The high-level meeting featured speeches from 33 leaders, including representatives of the European Union and the Arab League. President Prabowo was accompanied by Foreign Minister Sugiono, Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya, Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, Minister of Human Rights Natalius Pigai, and Indonesia’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Umar Hadi.
