Abdulfattah mentioned that the support from the Indonesian people has become a source of strength for Palestine, including through protest actions.
“We are able to remain patient and fight against the Zionist Israelis because of all your support, and hopefully Palestine can achieve independence thanks to Indonesia’s support,” he said during his speech.
“Demonstrations and orations are also beneficial for Palestine because they help spread information about Al-Aqsa Mosque and Palestine. All these protest actions and orations strengthen us,” Abdulfattah added.
Due to the consistent support of the Indonesian people, the Palestinian Ambassador even admitted that he loves Indonesia as much as he loves his own homeland.

“Whoever wants to know what is happening in Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque, then read the Quran. Whoever wants to know how to liberate Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque, then read the Quran. This is stated in Surah Al-Isra,” he revealed.
