JAKARTA, May 28 — Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto today said he would be willing to establish diplomatic relations with Israel if it recognised a Palestinian state, as he held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron in Jakarta.
Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation, has no formal ties with Israel and has consistently called for a two-state solution to the decades-long conflict.
“On various occasions, I have said that Indonesia sees that two-state solution and the freedom of Palestine is the only way to achieve the true peace,” he told a news conference.
“I also emphasised that we must acknowledge and guarantee Israel’s rights as a sovereign country that must be paid attention to and guaranteed safety.”
“Indonesia has stated that once Israel recognises Palestine, Indonesia is ready to recognise Israel and open the diplomatic relationship.”
In a joint statement, France and Indonesia called for progress on “mutual recognition” between Israel and the Palestinians at an international conference meant to resurrect the idea of a two-state solution next month which Paris will co-chair.
“The conference should... restore a political prospect of a peaceful settlement of this conflict, which should allow for an irreversible path towards the realisation of a Palestinian State, (and) mutual recognition between Israel and Palestine,” they said.
Support for the Palestinian cause runs high in Indonesia and the issue regularly prompts protests.
