TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A spokesperson for the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rolliansyah Soemirat, has refuted claims of an agreement to accept Palestinian prisoners released by Israel. He emphasized that no communication has occurred between Indonesia and Hamas regarding the matter.
“Until now, there has been no official communication through diplomatic channels between Indonesia and related parties regarding this issue,” Roy said in a written statement on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
He clarified that Indonesia's communication on this matter has been solely with the Palestinian National Authority. However, he did not provide specifics regarding the topics discussed.
“The Indonesian government has officially communicated with the Palestinian National Authority, which currently holds the authority of the Palestinian government,” he said.
Previously, Quds Press reported that Hamas was negotiating with several countries, including Indonesia, to accommodate Palestinian prisoners following a ceasefire agreement.
“The [Hamas] movement is currently in talks with several countries to secure approval for hosting the remaining freed prisoners and we may need time,” the Hamas leader said on Monday, February 3, 2025.
Meanwhile, the Arab News reported that several countries had reportedly agreed to the request, while others, including Indonesia and Algeria, were still in discussions.
“The countries that have agreed to receive them so far include Turkiye, Qatar, Pakistan and Malaysia,” it said.
