Former Vice President Jusuf Kalla has warned the Indonesian\ngovernment that it must anticipate potential consequences arising from\ncombined military operations by the United States and Israel against\nIran. Despite Indonesia\u2019s geographical distance from the Middle East\nregion, Kalla stressed that Indonesia must remain attentive to the\nglobal situation.<\/p>\n
Israel launched an unprovoked attack against Iran on Saturday\nmorning, 28 February 2026, described as a joint military operation\nbetween the US and Israel.<\/p>\n
Kalla highlighted the numerous conflicts affecting Islamic nations,\nranging from the Pakistan-Afghanistan war to conflicts in Syria and\nYemen. \u201cWe are grateful that Indonesia remains safe compared to other\nIslamic countries. That is why we must preserve this and ensure that\nsuch conflicts do not occur within our borders,\u201d Kalla told media\nrepresentatives at his private residence in the Kebayoran Baru area of\nSouth Jakarta on Sunday, 1 March 2026.<\/p>\n
Although Indonesia\u2019s current situation is relatively secure, Kalla\ncautioned that the government must continually safeguard the domestic\nenvironment. According to Kalla, the government must maintain stability\nby delivering justice and peace to the people. \u201cCurrently, there are\nmany protests directed at the government due to highly imbalanced\nactivities,\u201d Kalla said.<\/p>\n
Kalla stated that injustice and inequality could trigger unrest or\nsocial problems. \u201cWe hope that Indonesia, particularly the government,\nwill govern justly and also protect people by prioritising the welfare\nof society properly, so that what happens in other countries does not\noccur here,\u201d Kalla said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jusuf-kalla-warns-government-to-maintain-stability-1772362619", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
