ndonesia has condemned Israel’s latest air strikes and repeated ceasefire breaches in Gaza, amid public concerns that its long-standing pro-Palestinian stance is softening after joining the United States-controlled Board of Peace.

The Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday that Israel’s attacks in the exclave constitute a violation of the ceasefire currently in force.

“Indonesia calls on Israel, as a party to the ceasefire agreement, to fulfill its obligations and fully respect the agreement,” the ministry said.

Israel launched its latest air strike in Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing at least 32 people, mostly women and children, AFP reported.

The deadly strike came just days after US President Donald Trump held the launch ceremony of the Board of Peace for Gaza, a US-driven panel tasked with overseeing Gaza’s post-conflict administration and reconstruction.

The board was first proposed in November under Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, which aligns with the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2803. The plan has entered its second phase, focusing on demilitarization and reconstruction.
