Relationship context
Overview
Indonesia does not maintain diplomatic relations with Israel and has made normalization conditional on progress toward Palestinian statehood. This policy places a substantial constraint on official bilateral ties. Information about direct Israeli government cooperation with Indonesia is insufficient to assess Israel’s conduct toward Indonesia independently.
Areas of tension
- Indonesia’s refusal to normalize relations with Israel absent progress toward Palestinian statehood.
Major uncertainties
- The extent of direct or indirect government contacts between Indonesia and Israel is unclear.
- Details of Israeli government policy specifically toward Indonesia are limited.
