The Prime Minister’s Office has given special permission to Indonesia to airdrop humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, does not have relations with Israel.
In response to the report, a diplomatic official tells Kan, “Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu invites all countries that request to airdrop food to Gaza to join the humanitarian effort.”
