The issue of Palestine resurfaced and further strengthened Muslims, after previously declining, following the arrival of Tufan Al Aqsa in 2023.

Jakarta (Indonesia Window) – The current condition in Palestine has caused a sharp turn in history, Dr. Ahed Abu Al Atta, Director of Yayasan Persahabatan & Studi Persaudaraan (YPSP/Friendship & Brotherhood Studies Foundation), has said about the issue of Palestine.

DR. Ahed made the remarks at the conference under the theme ‘Ramadan Unites Us/Palestine and Indonesia One Heart,’ at the Hajj Dormitory in East Jakarta on Wednesday, March 4, 2026.

Before the genocide in Gaza, Israel, the colonizer, consistently carried out actions to stop the issue of Palestine to prevent it from spreading further, Dr. Ahead said.

After the arrival of Tufan Al Aqsa in 2023, the issue of Palestine resurfaced and further strengthened Muslims, after previously declining, Dr. Ahed said, adding that Tufan Al Aqsa also changed the strategic direction of the zionists.

This shook their plans to control Palestine, and after the genocide in Gaza, many zionist soldiers lost their minds and their sanity, he explained.

"These cruel killings occurred because they knew that their (the zionist soldiers') position was increasingly weak and in danger, and they finally acted indiscriminately, killing our brothers and sisters there, including women and children," he noted.

 They also destroyed mosques, churches, hospitals, and other public facilities, Dr. Ahed said, explaining that the massacres are still taking place in the Gaza Strip by the zionist occupiers against Palestinians despite the ceasefire agreement that is still in effect.

"However, the agreement is only a signed piece of paper, and to this day, the zionist occupiers are still carrying out numerous aggressions against our brothers and sisters in Gaza," he further said.

According to Dr. Ahed, the zionist occupation continues to do its utmost to prevent the ceasefire from being implemented by withholding relief aid, closing borders into the region, and harassing fighters and humanitarian workers in Gaza.

"And the aggression carried out by the zionists, along with the United States, against Iran is not solely unrelated to Palestine," he pointed out.

 He cited as an example, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a decision, determined to destroy all humanitarian programs to alleviate the suffering of the people in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli zionists already know they are losing in Gaza, they cannot win against the fighters in Gaza, so they are seeking a new perspective, seeking a new platform by attacking Iran to expose themselves, and creating the impression that Israel is winning against Iran because they have failed against the fighters in Gaza," he expounded.

 According to him, one of Israel's goals in carrying out aggression against its surrounding countries, including Iran, is to realize its plan to annex large areas of the Middle East.

“And this aggression and suffering is not only felt by our brothers and sisters in Gaza, but also by all Palestinians everywhere due to the zionist occupation, including those in the West Bank. There, the occupation has established checkpoints to inspect Palestinians who are being treated unfairly," he explained.

Similarly, Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site for Muslims, also suffer occupation, he said, explaining that the Israeli zionists continue to suppress Al-Aqsa Mosque, oppress the people there, and the zionists want to eliminate all operations that support Palestine.

 Once they carry out the ‘Judaization’ of Al-Aqsa, as they did some time ago, a ritual that desecrates the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, they also carry out daily attacks the Muslim holy place of worship, Dr. Ahed continued.

He revealed that their actions against Palestine have at least three goals. First, forcibly evicting the Palestinian people from their land.

"Second, the Israeli zionists want to expand illegal settlements so that the Jewish population there can increase and they can oppress our brothers and sisters in Gaza," he added.

Their third goal is the ‘Judaization’ of Al-Quds and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and they plan to build a temple called the Temple of Solomon, which, according to Dr. Ahed, constitutes a desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

"Therefore, based on these three points, measures must be taken to counter this vicious zionist movement. At the very least, we must isolate and abandon the zionists by whatever means we can," he said.

As is now apparent, global politics is beginning to shift. European countries, such as the Netherlands, which were initially pro-zionist, are starting to back away one by one, he noted.

They are abandoning the zionists, who are constantly killing people in Gaza, violating human rights, violating the fundamental rights of the people, and killing people indiscriminately, he added.

"Thus, there must be leadership for a major movement aimed at isolating the Israeli zionists," he said.

The next step is to strengthen the resolve of the people of Gaza to thwart the zionists' plans. If the Gazan people are strong, the struggle is expected to continue, he opined.

"Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala has also promised that one day, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Al-Quds will be liberated and returned to the hands of Muslims," ​​he added.

According to him, Palestinian fighters always follow existing regulations, human rights regulations, and international regulations in accordance with established principles.

Unlike the zionists, who consistently betray and violate existing agreements, Palestinian fighters act with a single goal: to safeguard the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Once again, the YPSP director welcomed the attendees at the solidarity meeting for Palestine and reminded them that Indonesia and Palestine share one heart.

He also thanked the Indonesian people who have been at the forefront of defending the people of Gaza and the Palestinian people in their struggle.

On this occasion, Dr. Ahed stated that he represents all the people of Gaza, both in Palestine and in Indonesia.
