Gaza – The Indonesian Vice President (VP) Ma'ruf Amin has urged for an immediate stop to the Israel and Hamas war because thousands of people have died.
"I think today is more than 4,000 people killed, so it must stop immediately," VP Amin said at the 61st Annual Session of the Asian African Legal Consultative Organization (AALCO) held at Nusa Dua, Bali, on Monday.
According to the Vice President, the solution that must be implemented for Israel and Palestine is an agreement at the United Nations (UN), or a two-state solution.
"Regarding the issue of resolving these two countries, it still has to be done,"
