🇮🇩Indonesia–Israel relations Israel and Indonesia have no formal diplomatic ties, although they maintain quiet trade, tourism and security contacts. In 2012, Indonesia spoke of upgrading relations with Israel and opening a consulate in Ramallah, but this agreement was never implemented. While not openly opposed to Israel necessarily, Indonesia does not want to provoke the country's Islamist elements which held a staunch opposition against Israel. In 1993, Prime Minister of Israel Yitzhak Rabin met Indonesian president Suharto at his private residence in Jakarta. This, what press said was Rabin's unscheduled visit, happened during Suharto's chairmanship of the Non-Aligned Movement and shortly after the Oslo Accords.This was the first ever high-profile meeting between both leaders. Indonesia has condemned Israel's response to Hamas's attack on October 7. https://t.me/YediotNewsChat
