Indonesia pessimistic about the independence of Palestine
The Indonesian government declared its pessimism on Palestine is independent at the end of this year, as agreed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel in the peace conference in Annapolis, Maryland, EE . UU. In November last year.
"In fact, there is an easy target," said Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda in a press conference when opening a training program for diplomats of Palestine in his office, Jakarta.
Dialogue between Palestine and Israel after Annapolis is the first conference of dialogue between them after the war seven years ago intifada in September 2000.
There are three main issues blocking the peace dialogue between the warring parties. Firstly it comes to Israel refused the request of Palestine to make East Jerusalem the Palestinian capital city of the future.
Secondly disagree on Israel to return the areas under their occupation since 1967 during the six-day war with Palestine. He also refused to send home to 4.5 million refugees to Palestine.
While it is difficult to achieve agreement between two parties, disagrees Hassan Palestine declares its independence from Indonesia, as it did and Kosovo. "They should have a peaceful solution," he said.
According to Hassan, there are obstacles in fulfilling the objectives of the conference in Annapolis. There is no unity in Palestine. A coalition government led by Olmert still has a weak position, while President George Bush as the initiator of a conference ending his presidential term shortly.
However, Hassan suggested all parties to keep optimistic the peace process. "Peace is much better than the status quo," he said.
