US EditionIndonesia Ready to Start Diplomatic Ties with Israel if Palestinian State Given Independence, Prabowo Says
- On May 28, 2025, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced Indonesia’s readiness to normalize relations with Israel if it recognizes an independent Palestinian state during a press conference in Jakarta with French President Emmanuel Macron.
- This announcement reflects Indonesia's enduring endorsement of a two-state solution and coincides with forthcoming international meetings led by France and Saudi Arabia, which aim to advance reciprocal acknowledgment and peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine.
- The country with the largest Muslim population globally has yet to establish official diplomatic relations with Israel, continues to advocate for Palestinian statehood, and recognizes Israel's right to sovereignty and security.
- Prabowo stated that Indonesia is prepared to formalize diplomatic ties with Israel once Israel acknowledges Palestine as a sovereign nation. Meanwhile, Macron emphasized that a lasting peace can only be achieved through a political resolution.
- These statements suggest that Indonesia’s potential normalization of ties with Israel depends on progress toward a two-state solution and could influence regional diplomacy surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
