Palestinian Embassy Showcases Solidarity Through Community Work in Jakarta

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Palestinian Embassy in Jakarta highlighted grassroots solidarity by organizing a voluntary community service activity with Palestinian students and local communities on Saturday, August 8, 2026, as a gesture of appreciation for Indonesia’s steadfast support of the Palestinian cause.

"This activity is a simple expression of our gratitude and respect to Indonesia and its people. Indonesia’s support and solidarity with Palestine hold profound meaning for the Palestinian people,” Palestine’s Ambassador to Indonesia Abdalfatah A.K. Al‑Sattari said, as quoted by Antara.

In its press release, the embassy noted that the initiative reflects how Palestinian‑Indonesian friendship and solidarity are realized through tangible actions, social care, and positive contributions to society and the environment.

The event also served as a special tribute to the Indonesian people, who have consistently extended moral, political, humanitarian, and solidarity support to Palestinians in their struggle for rights and independence.

According to the embassy, values of cooperation, environmental care, and community contribution strengthen the bonds of brotherhood between the peoples of Palestine and Indonesia.

The voluntary work further underscored that solidarity can be expressed through simple acts that directly benefit the surrounding environment.

Held from 08:30 to 12:00 local time, the activity involved Palestinian students and community members in cleaning, painting, organizing, and beautifying the area around Jalan Diponegoro, Menteng, Central Jakarta. ***
