REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono urges Israel to stop attacking Gaza Strip in Palestine, hoping to avert the invasion like in 2008. Indonesia indeed sent official statement for Israel two days ago.
"Israel is still attacking Gaza and it causes deep concern," he said on Saturday before departing for Cambodia.
Many civilians and innocent people are dead during the attack. SBY also expects UN Security Council will take a right step to stop the violent act.
"I hope the UN Security Council can prevent the escalation. And also, it is clear that Indonesia support the freedom for Palestine with two state solution," SBY said firmly. By establishing two peaceful co-existence states, Israel and Palestine, he believes that perpetual peace will be achieved.
"I hope that UN and countries in the region can encourage Israel to stop military act. Then, both parties must prevent other conflicts," he said.
