Indonesia's Role In Promoting Peace In The Israelpalestine Conflict Through Multi-Track Diplomacy

Abstract

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has been going on since the mid-19th century, began with efforts by European Jewish minority groups to establish a homeland for the Jewish people. With support from various groups, the Indonesian government is trying to optimize conflict resolution and overcome obstacles that hinder the improvement of humanitarian corridors for the Palestinian people. Data was collected through data collection techniques in the form of documentation data, and analyzed using methods that included data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. The country is involved in efforts to achieve sustainable peace for both parties, adhering to ideological principles, anti-colonial behavior, and ethnic unity, in line with Indonesia's foreign policy. Even though it is faced with internal and external challenges, Indonesia strategically acts as a mediator in this conflict, by emphasizing solidarity within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), encouraging the UN Security Council to resolve the conflict, and collaborating with neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam to strengthen commitment to peace in Palestine. This research aims to explore and maximize Indonesia's role in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through nine diplomatic channels, with a focus on ideological principles, anti-colonial behavior and ethnic unity.  The research methodology used is qualitative, with a literature review approach to collect data from various sources such as books, journals and available data. This research focuses on Indonesia's role in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through nine diplomatic channels, emphasizing ideological principles, anti-colonial behavior and ethnic unity. Indonesia implements multi-track diplomacy by involving various parties to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Humanitarian aid from Indonesian foundations and individual donors has also been increased to support Palestine. Regular evaluation of peacebuilding programs is carried out to ensure their effectiveness. Indonesia is also involved in interpersonal diplomacy to encourage dialogue between conflicting parties. The results of the study concluded that Indonesia played a role in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through nine diplomatic channels involving the government, non-governmental peace institutions, business actors, religious activists, funders and the media. Through the involvement of these various elements, Indonesia's role in the international arena can run optimally.
