Indonesia's Islamic Defenders Front (IDF), a prominent Islamist organization, has urged Prabowo Subianto, the country's presidential candidate, to be cautious of former US President Donald Trump's statements regarding a potential ceasefire in Gaza.
The IDF, which is known for its hardline stance on issues related to Islam and national security, released a statement expressing concerns over Trump's recent comments. According to the organization, Trump's words could be perceived as a threat to the Middle East peace process and undermine efforts to achieve a lasting ceasefire in the region.
The IDF's leadership warned that Prabowo should not take Trump's statements lightly, as they could have far-reaching consequences for Indonesia's relations with the US and other countries in the region. The organization also emphasized the need for Prabowo to prioritize Indonesian national interests and avoid taking actions that could be perceived as pro-Israeli or anti-Palestinian.
The statement from the IDF was seen as a reflection of the organization's deep-seated concerns about the impact of external influences on Indonesia's domestic and foreign policy issues. As one of the country's largest and most influential Islamist groups, the IDF has long played a significant role in shaping public opinion on issues related to national security, Islamic values, and international relations.
Prabowo's campaign team has declined to comment on the IDF's statement, but the incident highlights the complex and often contentious nature of Indonesia's political landscape. With elections looming, Prabowo is facing increasing pressure from various stakeholders, including Islamist groups like the IDF, to articulate a clear vision for the country's foreign policy and national security agenda.
