Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto has made headlines at the United Nations in New York by restating that Indonesia will recognise Israel, but only if Palestine is granted full statehood. Speaking during a high-level session on the two-state solution co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, Prabowo declared, “Once Israel recognises Palestinian independence, Indonesia will immediately recognise Israel.” The statement marks the strongest signal yet of a potential Indonesia–Israel normalisation, sparking debate over Jakarta’s long-standing foreign policy. It also comes amid growing momentum for Palestinian recognition, with France, Canada, and the UK recently signalling support. Watch the video to find out more.
