The League of Parliamentarians for Al-Quds and Palestine Concludes Its Participation in the Jakarta Conference

The League of Parliamentarians for Al-Quds and Palestine concluded its participation in the 19th Conference of the Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States, which took place in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, from May 12 to 15, 2025.

The delegation included the President of the League, Mr. Hamid bin Abdullah Al-Ahmar; the Secretary-General, Dr. Mohammad Makram Balawi; Executive Committee member MP Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh; and the League’s advisor, Bashir Jarallah.

The League expressed its sincere gratitude and appreciation to the President of Indonesia, H.E. Prabowo Subianto, the Speaker of the Indonesian Parliament, H.E. Ms. Puan Maharani, and the Chair of the Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Committee and Indonesian MP Mr. Mardani Ali Sera, for hosting and organizing this important conference. It praised Indonesia’s historic role—both government and people—in supporting the Palestinian cause.

In a press statement issued at the conclusion of its participation, the League emphasized the importance of this parliamentary event, which brings together representatives of Islamic parliaments to unify efforts in support of the just causes of the Ummah, foremost among them the Palestinian cause. It stressed the need to strengthen parliamentary cooperation among member states to support the Palestinian people and their steadfastness in the face of Israeli occupation, strongly condemning the ongoing crimes committed by the occupation in the Gaza Strip, including killings, destruction, and siege.

The League called on the international community to shoulder its legal and humanitarian responsibilities, urging the formation of an Islamic parliamentary delegation to visit the U.S. Congress and international institutions to convey the voice of Islamic nations and demand an immediate end to the aggression on Gaza and the lifting of the blockade.

The League also emphasized the importance of documenting the war crimes committed in Gaza and holding those responsible accountable before international courts, as well as supporting humanitarian and medical efforts to strengthen the resilience of the Palestinian people. It reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to defending the rights of the Palestinian people, vowing not to spare any effort until they obtain all their legitimate rights to freedom and independence.
