JAKARTA (Dispatches) – The Indonesian Foreign Ministry denied a Jerusalem Post report that Jakarta had sent a delegation to the occupied territories on a secret visit, stressing that publishing such a hoax reflects an old way for the Israeli media to gain profits. “As long as Palestine is under Israeli occupation, Indonesia will not open diplomatic relations with Israel,” the Foreign Ministry’s Middle East Director Bagus Hendraning Kobarsyih told a local English-language news site Tempo . Bagus added that the Israeli media often fabricates such unfounded news to use in its favor and emphasized that Indonesia’s position remains unchanged.
