MINISTER MAFTUH HOPES OBAMA MAKES FIRM STATEMENT ON ISRAEL
Jakarta, Jan 8 (ANTARA) - Religious Minister Maftuh Basyuni hoped that US President elect Barrack Obama would condemn Israeli invasion to Palestine, like his sympathy over the tragedy in Mumbai, India.
"We hope Obama will strongly speak about Israeli military onslaught in the Gaza Strip, just like his stance towards the Mumbai tragedy," Basyuni said here on Thursday.
Stopping Israeli aggression should be done by forcing the US to take action, at least by letting the UN act justly.
Maftuh Basyumi who was also a former diplomat in Middle East said the Israeli military attack may have something to do with that country's effort to incite Iran.
"I think the Zionist state is currently trying to provoke Iran who is expected to vent its anger through a certain war. By doing so, Israel has reason to attack Iran," he said.
The Israeli tactics, he added, was once applied to Iraq when the US eventually invaded that country on the ground that country had mass destruction lethal weapons.
"Either the US or Israel adopts a similar attitude toward Iran. The zionists want to invade Iran with the support of the US," he said.
Indonesia itself, he added, has strongly condemned the Israeli crime against humanity especially the Palestinians, including making a strong statement by the Indonesian permanent representative to the UN.
However, Maftuh said he still did not agree with the dispatch of Indonesian mujahideens (jihad fighters) to Palestine, except causing the factions in Palistine to unite.
"Without a strong unity, it is impossible that they will be able to fight Israel. Indonesia is ready to host an event aimed to make the different factions in Palestine to unite," he said.
Now, the Gaza Strip whereas Hamas fighters fighting the Israelis who are constantly bombing them, and if the Hamas fighters had been eliminated by the Israeli forces, I am afraid that the Fatah faction may start collaborating with Israel," he said.
