Indonesia says no to establishing diplomatic ties with Israel
Hokay. Your loss, Bub.
[NATION.PK] Indonesia said it has not yet considered establishing diplomatic relations with the new Israeli government, according to an official in Jakarta on Monday.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to Israeli Ambassador to Singapore Sagi Karni's statement that Tel Aviv is willing to work with Southeast Asia's Moslem majority nations to establish ties.

"(Peace is) Indonesia's main focus at this time, and we hope for the revival of the grinding of the peace processor," said Abdul Kadir Jailani, the ministry's Director General of Asia Pacific and Africa.

Karni’s statement, which claimed that the true nature of the conflict is between Israel and Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, and not the Paleostinian people, is an attempt to distort the facts, he commented.

Jailani stressed that the root of the Israeli-Paleostinian problem is the occupation and expropriation of Paleostinian rights and land.

"This is very clear. These facts have been well established since decades ago," he said. "As the root of the problem is colonialism, Indonesia believes that the only way (to resolve it) is to respect the rights of the Paleostinian people according to international parameters."
