Anis spoke in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Sunday during a preparatory ministerial meeting for an extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League on the following day that would discuss the Israeli aggression in Gaza and Lebanon.

“The Palestinian struggle for independence was the basis for the formation of the OIC. That is why we are all [with] Palestinians and we must support the Palestinian cause," Anis said, as quoted from a press release from the Foreign Ministry in Jakarta.

“We must immediately translate words into concrete actions, including ensuring a sustainable delivery of humanitarian aid for Palestinians,” he added.

Since the conflict in Gaza escalated last year, Indonesia has been making diplomatic efforts to promote a permanent ceasefire and a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, both in bilateral engagements with its partners and through the OIC.

Anis’ presence at the preparatory meeting on Sunday and the subsequent extraordinary summit on Monday reflects Indonesia’s commitment to world peace and President Prabowo Subianto’s goal of helping realize Palestinian independence, the ministry said.

Leaders and top officials of Arab and Muslim countries started arriving in Saudi Arabia on Monday night Jakarta time for the summit, which will focus on the wars in Gaza and Lebanon.
