Indonesian officials deny reports that Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto will arrive tomorrow in Israel, which would mark the first visit of a head of state from Jakarta to the country, saying that Subianto will return home tomorrow after participating in the international summit on ending the Gaza war at Egypt’s Sharm El-Sheikh today.
An Israeli source says it looks unlikely that the visit will happen tomorrow.
According to CNN Indonesia, the country’s Foreign Minister, Sugiono, says in a statement about the rumored visit: “It is not true. As originally planned, the president will return to Indonesia after the events in Egypt are concluded.”
Indonesia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Yvonne Mewengkang, is also quoted as dismissing reports of the trip.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
