DPR RI  encouraged the issue of sovereignty to unify the diverse views of the countries in the group. Rofi even prepared to lobby for combining the issue of sovereignty to humanitarian challenges. DPR expected this issue to get broader support from about 160 IPU parliament members.

“On the other side, many of us have the humanitarian challenges in a variety of conflicts such as in Syria, Palestine and others,” said Rofi.

For Indonesia, the emergency resolution that should be encouraged is the Palestinian issue because of the impact is very large for the world and Muslims.

The issue of Palestine need to continually lifted up as Israel want to make Jerusalem as the its capital . “It definitely will cause global outrage”.

Therefore we need to push Palestinian sovereignty to make Jerusalem the capital of Israel not realized, “said Rofi.(L/P008/R03)
