Indonesian Muslims Remind the World: Palestine Is Still Under Occupation

Thousands of Muslims across various Indonesian cities held Pro-Palestine rallies on October 18–19, 2025, under the tagline “Palestine Is Still Under Occupation.” In Bandung, more than 15,000 demonstrators gathered in front of Gedung Sate, waving tauhid flags and carrying posters with messages such as “Send Muslim Armies, Free Palestine!” and “The Final Solution for Palestine Is Jihad and Khilafah.”

Speakers emphasized that the current ceasefire remains fragile, as the Zionist occupiers have repeatedly violated agreements. They urged Muslims to learn from history—arguing that peace deals with the Zionists bring no benefit—and reaffirmed that the true path to liberating Palestine lies in jihad, as commanded in the Qur’an.

Similar rallies were held in Semarang and Purwokerto, drawing thousands of participants from surrounding regions. Protesters raised banners rejecting the two-state solution, viewing it as a false resolution that perpetuates occupation. Religious scholars and community leaders condemned the silence of Muslim rulers as a betrayal of Islam and the suffering of the Palestinian people. They stressed that without unity under a single Islamic leadership—the Khilafah upon the Prophetic method—the occupation of Palestine will continue. [] Maktab I’lami Indonesia
