Indonesia: President’s Amnesty Decision Criticized For Being Half-Baked
Tuesday, 17 December 2024 () By Dandy Koswaraputra and Pizaro Gozali Idrus
The Indonesian president’s decision to pardon tens of thousands of prisoners is ill-conceived because it fails to address harsh laws that call for incarceration and lead to overcrowding, critics said, amid not inconsiderable cynicism about the plan’s intention.
Prime minister Sir Keir Starmer welcomed the President of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto to 10 Downing Street on Thursday. Mr Subianto, who was inaugurated last month, met the prime minister earlier this week at the G20 leaders’ summit in Brazil.

In the early hours of Saturday, Palestinian resistance fighters clashed with Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as they raided multiple towns in the occupied West Bank. The violence unfolded in areas like Beita, Barqa, and Qasra, where Palestinian youth confronted the invading forces. Reports highlight Israeli troops assaulting Palestinians, vandalizing homes, and detaining a youth in the Qalandya refugee camp. The ongoing aggression coincides with the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and the desecration of religious sites, further escalating tensions in the region.

Tensions at the United Nations have escalated as Israel and Russia clashed over the ongoing Gaza conflict, with Iran strongly condemning the U.S. for rejecting a proposed ceasefire. The UN General Assembly has called for an immediate ceasefire to address the worsening humanitarian crisis, but the U.S. vetoed the measure, citing security concerns and ongoing threats from Hamas. Iran has accused the U.S. of enabling violence by siding with Israel. Meanwhile, Israel criticized the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), alleging that dozens of its 13,000 workers in Gaza participated in Hamas attacks, further complicating relations with the UN. These developments highlight deep divisions among global powers, leaving the path to resolving the Gaza conflict uncertain.
