Jakarta, MINA – Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono has urged the United Kingdom to leverage its influence to encourage Israel to fully comply with a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. The appeal came during a courtesy meeting with British Ambassador to Indonesia, Dominic Jermey, in Jakarta on Thursday.
The two officials discussed strengthening the Indonesia–UK strategic partnerships and enhancing multilateral cooperation across a range of global issues, including the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine.
Minister Sugiono reaffirmed Indonesia’s firm support for a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders and emphasized the importance of upholding international law, both in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and in response to the war in Ukraine.
He also highlighted the outcome of the recent Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit, which called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to enable humanitarian aid delivery and begin post-war reconstruction. The minister expressed hope that the UK will play a constructive role in fostering the necessary conditions for Israel to comply with the ceasefire agreement.
