🇮🇩 🇮🇱 Indonesia to normalize ties with Israel in exchange for Jerusalem supporting its entry into the OECD.

Following three months of intense negotiations, Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, to normalize relations with Israel.

💬 “In exchange for establishing relations with Israel, Jerusalem will stop blocking Indonesia from joining the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD,) the economic organization that currently includes the world’s 38 leading economies.”

Israel had been working to normalize ties with Indonesia alongside Saudi Arabia and other countries before the war with Hamas broke out on October 7, mainly putting the moves on ice. However, last week, an Indonesian aircraft took part in an airdrop of aid to Gaza, apparently marking the first time an Indonesian plane has flown through Israeli airspace.
