Indonesia strongly condemns the attack by Israeli soldiers on Palestinians who were rallying at the border of Gaza and Israel. As a result, 17 Palestinians were killed and more than 1,400 others were wounded after Israeli forces fired live ammunition at protesters and used tear gas to push them back from a heavily fortified fence, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. In a statement on Saturday March 31, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised Israel’s security forces thanked his troops for “guarding the country’s borders” and allowing “Israeli citizens to celebrate the [Passover] holiday peacefully”.
