Jakarta – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) insisted that Indonesian ports will not be used to serve Israeli ships. This was in response to an open letter uploaded on social media which stated that the Israeli merchant ship, ZIM Trade, was scheduled to dock at four Indonesian ports, namely Jakarta, Medan, Semarang and Surabaya.

Moreover, the Head of State condemns Israel's attack on the Khan Younis refugee camp in Gaza, as the assault has resulted in numerous casualties and injuries.

"The list of international law violations committed by Israel has been too long,"

Earlier, President Jokowi received a report from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Retno LP Marsudi, who participated in an open debate at the United Nations Security Council discussing the Gaza issue.

In that debate, Minister Marsudi also firmly rejected Prime Minister Netanyahu's statement.

"Before departing for New York, I instructed the Foreign Minister to continue voicing Indonesia's strong support for the Palestinian people's struggle. It must be stated clearly," President Jokowi concluded.
