“I believe this is a crucial moment for Indonesia to strengthen its stance in support of the Palestinian people’s struggle,” he added.

Representatives of the Global Peace Convoy Indonesia stated that the delegation’s presence carries not only the organization’s name but also the aspirations of the Indonesian people for a more peaceful and just world.
“This is part of a collective effort to ensure that the voice of humanity remains present and is championed at the global level. There, we also advocate for and prioritize the mission to open the gates for humanitarian aid to enter conflict zones,” said Prof. Sudarnoto, a GPCI delegation representative from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI).
Through this participation, Indonesia reaffirms its role as a nation actively promoting world peace, in line with the constitutional mandate to help establish world order based on independence, lasting peace, and social justice.
“So, this diplomacy ensures pressure is applied to the Israeli government and its allies, such as the United States, to allow humanitarian aid access. Humanitarian aid must not be targeted by fire, as that violates international humanitarian law. This political pressure is crucial as the main foundation for various humanitarian efforts,” added Feri Amsari, a GPCI delegate who is also a constitutional law expert.
Moving forward, the hope is that this initiative can strengthen global collaboration networks and open up broader spaces for dialogue in the search for inclusive and sustainable peaceful solutions. (Dompet Dhuafa)
