Indonesia maintains its longstanding policy of conditioning formal diplomatic relations and normalization with Israel on the latter’s prior recognition of an independent Palestinian state within 1967 borders, a stance reaffirmed by the Foreign Ministry in October 2026 amid public speculation. President Prabowo Subianto has signaled pragmatic openness, including supportive language at the UN General Assembly and participation in Gaza-related diplomacy, yet recent bilateral meetings such as his October 11 summit with Egyptian President el-Sisi emphasized condemnation of Israeli settlements and commitment to the two-state solution. Quiet trade, tourism, and security contacts persist without official ties, while domestic political constraints and regional dynamics tied to the Palestinian issue continue to shape the timeline for any breakthrough.
