Gema Bangsa Condemns All Aggression and War Escalation
A brutal and deadly attack by Israel and the United States on Iran on Saturday, 28 February, shocked the world.
The Central Leadership Council of Gema Bangsa Party condemned without compromise every act of military aggression and violation of national sovereignty that triggers armed conflict escalation in the Middle East.
Ary Oskandar, Head of the Gema Bangsa Party’s Foreign Affairs Division, stated that the use of armed force exceeding principles of international law represents an arrogance of power threatening global peace and endangering human safety. No political justification can excuse actions that expand war and increase civilian casualties.
“We affirm that every form of armed intervention disregarding the sovereignty of other nations constitutes a serious violation of the United Nations Charter and poses a direct threat to global stability,” he said in a statement received on 2 March.
Ary emphasised that war is not a solution. War is a failure of diplomacy and leadership.
He explained that Indonesia, based on its constitutional mandate and independent and active foreign policy, must not become a tool, must not become a follower, and must not submit to pressure from any global power. The nation’s stance must remain firm: siding with peace, with international law, and with national interests.
Gema Bangsa Party firmly condemned every form of aggression and unilateral military action that expands conflict and sacrifices civilians, urging the immediate cessation of all military operations potentially triggering wider regional war, demanding the international community end double standards in international law enforcement, calling on the Indonesian government to undertake bold active diplomatic steps that are not merely symbolic, and demanding concrete government measures to protect Indonesian citizens and maintain national economic stability against the impact of energy volatility, inflation, and currency pressure.
“Global conflict escalation will directly impact energy prices, subsidy burdens, rupiah stability, and people’s purchasing power. The Indonesian people must not become victims of geopolitical ambitions they did not create,” he added.
The statement was issued amid growing concerns over escalating conflict between the United States and Israel against Iran. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated it had instructed Indonesia’s Ambassador to Iran in Tehran to prepare various options should evacuation become necessary at any time. The Foreign Ministry continues to closely monitor the security situation and urges all Indonesian citizens to heighten vigilance.
