PARLEMENTARIA, Jakarta – Rizki Aulia Rahman Natakusumah, Member of House Commission I, emphasized the importance of international collaboration in encouraging the implementation of the Two-State Solution as a path to end the prolonged Israel-Palestine conflict . Speaking as a panelist during an open discussion titled Dialectics of Democracy (Dialektika Demokrasi) at the parliament complex, Rizki highlighted the growing global concern over the crimes against humanity taking place in Gaza since October 2023.

“We’re now witnessing that countries around the world, including Islamic, Middle Eastern countries and even Western countries such as the United States are beginning to acknowledge  Israel’s actions as atrocious crimes worthy of prosecution in international courts,” said Rizki during the Dialektika Demokrasi discussion held at Nusantara I Building DPR RI, on Thursday (12/6/2025).

The Democratic Party legislator also highlighted alarming casualty figures, showing more than 55.000 live have been lostand over two million people displaced due to Israel’s aggression in Gaza. He described the situation a mass killing that must not be tolerated.

“Imagine, people  are being forced to flee to Jordan or relocated without direction. This is not just a humanitarian tragedy, also it is a serious violation of human rights,” he stated firmly.

Rizki praised recent efforts  by France and Saudi Arabia to initiate an international conference on Palestine issue. In his view, these two nations represent  powerful voices from both the Western and Islamic worlds capable of exerting global pressure on Israel to halt its atrocities.

“France as a  Western representative and Saudi Arabia as a voice of the Islamic world form a powerful symbol of  the Two-State Solution spirit. This is a pivotal moment we must support,” he added.

However, Rizki also expressed  concern over signs that the momentum behind  the international conference may be waning. “Initially, the conference was expected to explicitly recommend recognition of Palestine’s sovereignty. But now, the narrative has shifted toward merely embracing the spirit of recognition. This is a form of diplomatic compromise that we must be wary of,” he explained.

He stressed that such conferences  must not end in mere rhetoric. Instead, they should lead to concrete actions, including the demilitarization of Gaza, unimpeded humanitarian access, and an end to Israel’s blockade of Palestine via land and sea routes. Rizki pointed out that humanitarian aid has repeatedly been obstructed, with aid ships encircled—an act he described as a grave violation.

“This is what needs to be addressed. The conference must offer more than rhetorical enthusiasm, it must deliver practical,  solution-oriented outcomes that address  real problems and pave the way to a genuine Two-State Solution,” concluded Rizki, who also serves as Chairperson of the House Parliamentary Affairs Committee.

The discussion, organized by the Parliamentary Journalists’ Coordinator (KWP) in collaboration with the Parliamentary News Bureau, also featured Mardani Ali Sera, Chairperson of the DPR RI’s Committee for Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation from Prosperous Justice Party Faction, and International Law’s Professor, Hikmahanto Juwana, with Edwin Siregar from the Parliamentary Journalists’ Association (KWP) serving as moderator.
