TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The presidential aircraft carrying President Prabowo Subianto touched down smoothly at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base in East Jakarta on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. He had just returned from Egypt after attending the Peace Summit in Sharm el-Sheikh held the previous day.
In Egypt, Prabowo witnessed the signing of a peace agreement by United States President Donald Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan, and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The document laid the groundwork for peace in Gaza, beginning with Israel’s troop withdrawal, the release of hostages, and the opening of humanitarian aid corridors.
Three weeks earlier, Prabowo had attended the United Nations General Assembly in New York. There, the 73-year-old politician delivered a speech reaffirming Indonesia’s commitment to a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “We must have an independent Palestine, but we must also recognize and guarantee the safety and security of Israel. Only then can we have true peace: peace without hate, peace without suspicion. The only solution is this two-state solution,” Prabowo declared.
Dina Sulaeman, an international relations lecturer at Padjadjaran University in Sumedang, West Java, criticized the speech for failing to clearly name the perpetrators of genocide in Gaza. “Prabowo’s stance mirrors that of US or Israeli allies who avoid addressing the genocide directly. The narrative is always, ‘We regret the casualties,’ without identifying who caused them,” Dina told Tempo on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
