In Jeddah, President SBY affirm the commitment and support the Indonesian government for the independence of Palestine. The President also adopt such special envoy in Ramallah. Step is a proof that Indonesia fully supports the independence of Palestine from Israel and the intervention of allies.
The Indonesian government to support the independence of Palestine is not only happening this time. In the Old Order era, Soekarno consistently support the Palestinian struggle, for example by inviting Jarussalem General Mufti of Al-Hajj Amin al-Husein in the Asia-Africa Conference (KAA) in Bandung in 1955 and did not invite the representative of Israel.
Meanwhile, President Soeharto permit representatives of PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) in Jakarta in 1989 and invited Yasser Arafat on the Non-KTT Blok in Jakarta in 1992 and provides financial assistance. However, Soeharto did not seem really consistent support for the establishment of Palestine and as Jarussalem capital. Because in October 1993 to receive the Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin in Sandalwood and in 1995, Soeharto Yitzak meet in New York.
Meanwhile, Megawati also provide support to Palestine. During a forum at the High-Level Conference (KTT) Islamic Conference Organization (OKI), Megawati said that Palestinian-Israeli peace will only be realized when all agreements with Israel that has been agreed. According to Megawati, the Middle East peace is in the hands of Israel (Kompas Online, 08/05/06).
Abdurrahman Wahid little "nyeleneh". He will never declare open diplomatic relations with Israel. Statement by the President who came from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) is the birth criticism from various figures of Islam. Due to open diplomatic relations with Israel means that the state recognizes the existence of Israel. But if dirunut's history, the nation of Israel is a nation of immigrants and seeks to establish Palestinian state there. Of course this is on the Palestinian occupation.
Recognize the state of Israel contrary to the Constitution 45. In pembukan (prambule) 45 referred to the Constitution of Indonesia will take part to free the world from all forms of colonialism. The statement and the plan at that time Gus Dur is not only contrary to the Constitution 45, but also offend Muslims in this country. No wonder if Gus Dur to get criticism from Muslims.
The fact shows that the Israel-Palestinian conflict never ended, only the volume of conflict are different. Already many countries step in trying reconcile this conflict, even the United Nations also do the same. But unfortunately, the peace only lasted a moment, after the recurrence again.
Lately, israel-Palestinian conflict seems to meridian. Both parties were "confirmed" with the color; recognize Israel rejected the Hamas government (group winners elections), so Israel does not recognize the Hamas government. Palestinian problem the heat when the West agreed stop economic aid to the Palestinians. Economic embargo raise this solidarity Muslims. This weekend (Sunday, 07/05/06) in the mass demonstrations of support to the MCC funds for the Palestinian solidarity.
Many expectations specific to Indonesia to become an interpreter or a mediator of peace. Indonesian as a Muslim country in the world, can play an important role for the Palestinian-Israeli peace.
Government of Indonesia will be able to become an interpreter if winning the peace, neutral and Indonesia listen aspiration of the two groups that are bertikai and find the meeting point between two different desires. Attitudes like this will be more beneficial than supporting one group while forgetting the other groups.
In addition, India must compel Israel to comply with the facts of the peace that has been agreed, and restore the area of the new Palestinian government recognize the results of elections. Throughout the history of Palestinian-Israel conflict the two countries when the heat of Israel absent from the agreement that has been agreed. Speech Megawati that peace depends on Israel-Palestinian Israel, recognized by many political observers of the Middle East.
Palestinian nation have long dizalimi, if the Indonesian government is consistent with the Constitution of 45 Palestinians, they will embrace. However, the Indonesian government should be able realistic. Policy issues in the Palestine-Israel should consider geo-politics that have at this time so that Indonesia is not a candle; illuminate other people but himself drip. This means the government must put national interests and foreign policy must disinari this principle. (CMM / ds).
