During the meeting, President Jokowi reiterated Indonesia's firm commitment to continuing to support Palestine.

“Indonesia is committed to supporting Palestine optimally and concretely. Violence must stop immediately. The forced displacement of civilians must end. "Humanitarian assistance must be provided immediately," stressed the President.
