PKS Vows Unwavering Support for Palestinian Independence

President of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), Almuzzammil Yusuf, received a courtesy visit from the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to the Republic of Indonesia, Abdalfatah A.K. Alsattari, at the PKS Central Leadership Council (DPTP) office in Jakarta on 28 July. The meeting between the two figures took place in a warm, cordial atmosphere full of brotherhood.

In his statement following the meeting, Almuzzammil expressed high appreciation for the proactive efforts of the Palestinian Embassy in Indonesia, which continues to weave synergy and collaboration with various elements of the nation, including political parties.

“We are delighted to welcome Ambassador Abdalfatah and his delegation to the PKS DPTP office. PKS appreciates his continued efforts to build collaboration with various elements in support of Palestinian independence. He even mentioned that the PKS office is the first party office he has visited since taking office in January 2026. It is certainly an honour for the extended PKS family,” said Almuzzammil in his official statement.

During the warm discussion, Almuzzammil also conveyed PKS’s commitment to the Palestinian struggle, which was recently formalised through the third Majelis Syura Congress (MMS).

“To the Ambassador, we conveyed that the struggle for Palestine is an official party decision. One of the resolutions of the third Majelis Syura Congress (MMS) of PKS, held on 25–26 July 2026, specifically mandates us to encourage the government, parliament and all components of the nation to be even more active in fighting for Palestinian independence. This is a mandate of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia that we must safeguard together,” he affirmed.

Furthermore, Almuzzammil explained that PKS’s commitment to fighting for the rights of the Palestinian people will never waver, as it rests on four very solid foundations.

“PKS is fully committed to continuing the struggle for Palestinian independence on four solid foundations. First, the constitutional foundation. The Preamble of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia mandates that independence is the right of every nation and that colonialism must be abolished,” Almuzzammil elaborated.

“Second, the historical foundation. We must not forget President Soekarno’s resounding statement that for as long as the Palestinian people do not have their independence, Indonesia will stand against Israeli colonisation. Third, the ideological foundation, namely the implementation of the second principle of Pancasila, Just and Civilised Humanity. And fourth, the moral foundation. As the country with the largest Muslim-majority population in the world, it is our moral obligation of brotherhood to stand in defence of Palestine,” he added.

In closing his remarks, Almuzzammil assured that PKS’s door will always remain open to the Palestinian people, and that PKS stands ready to be a strategic partner of the Palestinian Embassy in galvanising support for Palestinian independence.
