HTI hopes Indonesia to help Palestine

Jakarta (ANTARA News) – Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) will not send volunteers to Palestine but hopes the Indonesian government can send Indonesian National Defense Forces (TNI) personnel to Palestine to stop Israeli aggression there, a HTI spokesman said.

“HTI will not send volunteers to fight against Israel, but neither do we prohibit Indonesian volunteers to go there,” the HTI spokesman, Fardi Wajri, told the press during an anti-Israel rally outside the US embassy here on Tuesday.

Palestine needed people to physically defend itself against the brutal attacks by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip, he said.

Therefore, HTI hoped that TNI personnel could join the Palestinian fighters in order to stop the aggression by the Jewish state, he said.

“We ask the government to also send TNI personnel, in addition to medicines,” he said.

Another Indonesian Muslim organization called the Islam Defenders` Front (FPI) has opened a command post to register volunteers willing to fight in Palestine.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has expressed the Indonesian government`s commitment to providing humanitarian aid worth one million US dollars and a US$200,000 package of medicines to Palestine.

More than 300 Palestinians, including children and women, have died and over 1,000 others injured in the Israeli air strikes since Saturday (Dec. 27). (*)
