ndonesia has welcomed the first phase of the ceasefire and what it calls “the permanent end of hostilities” in Gaza, amid reports of Israeli troop withdrawals from the war-torn Palestinian territory on Friday as the truce between Israel and Hamas took hold.
All provisions of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas must be implemented in good faith, the government has said, while conveying appreciation for states involved in mediation efforts and hopes for open humanitarian access.
Global attention returned to Gaza on Friday, three days after the second anniversary of the war in the exclave, as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the start of the first phase of a ceasefire brokered by the United States.
The Israeli army said its troops had ceased fire at noon local time in preparation for the ceasefire agreement and the return of hostages.
Indonesia, which was among the Muslim-majority countries involved in the negotiation of the ceasefire deal with US President Donald Trump, appreciated the development, while underlining the need to implement the deal’s other provisions, including opening access for humanitarian aid.
“Indonesia hopes that humanitarian access will be immediately and widely opened, and stands ready to participate actively in supporting the reconstruction process in Gaza,” the Foreign Ministry wrote in a statement on Friday.
