JAKARTA — A renewed spirit of solidarity and compassion for the people of Palestine filled the Nusantara III Building of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Jakarta. On Saturday (1 November 2025), the Aqsa Working Group (AWG) officially launched the Palestine Solidarity Month (BSP) 2025 under the theme “Moving in Unity to Rebuild Gaza for the Liberation of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Independence of Palestine.”
The event, held in collaboration with the Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Agency (BKSAP) of DPR RI, gathered national figures, scholars, government officials, and humanitarian activists from various organizations. Among them was DT Peduli, represented by Cecep Gustian, Deputy Director of Marketing at LAZ DT Peduli.
Cecep shared that the event served as a powerful reminder of the collective struggle for justice.
“This is an extraordinary event that strengthens our spirit to continue fighting together for the independence of our brothers and sisters in Palestine,” he said.
He further affirmed DT Peduli’s commitment to collaborate with various institutions in supporting humanitarian reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
“Together with the Indonesian Government and the Aqsa Working Group, DT Peduli is committed to contributing to the establishment of the Maternity and Children’s Hospital (RSIA) in Northern Gaza,” Cecep added.
For DT Peduli, its participation in BSP 2025 reflects a long-standing humanitarian commitment. Through collaboration with AWG and the Indonesian Government, DT Peduli remains dedicated to rebuilding Gaza under the spirit of “Moving in Unity for a Free Palestine.”
A Moment of National Solidarity
Muhammad Anshorullah, Chairman of the Aqsa Working Group Presidium, highlighted in his address that November holds a special place in the historical struggle of the Palestinian people.
“November carries significant historical weight in the journey toward the liberation of Al-Aqsa and the independence of Palestine. There are at least five major events: the Balfour Declaration (1917), the death of Yasser Arafat (2004), the Palestinian Declaration of Independence in Algeria (1988), the martyrdom of Izzuddin Al-Qassam (1935)—whose legacy inspired the Hamas movement—and the UN Partition Plan (1947) on 29 November, now commemorated as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People,” he explained.
He emphasized that BSP is more than an annual event; it is a historical calling to strengthen global humanitarian awareness.
“This year’s BSP takes place amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Despite ceasefire agreements, the blockade and bombardment continue. Therefore, BSP serves as a vital moral and political campaign against the atrocities of the Zionist regime, which are supported and armed by the United States,” he asserted.
According to him, BSP also embodies the global civil society’s defense of Palestine.
“The theme of BSP 2025 is a call for the world—especially the Indonesian nation—to unite in rebuilding Gaza, devastated by Zionist oppression,” he stated.
United for Gaza
The opening of BSP 2025 was attended by Indonesia’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, representatives from the Embassy of Palestine, and humanitarian activists from various organizations. The event also featured a photo exhibition on Palestinian history, live painting of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and a Virtual Reality (VR) experience showcasing the current condition of Gaza.
Nur Hadis, Chairman of BSP 2025, emphasized that the program is not merely symbolic but a living expression of Indonesia’s love and solidarity for Palestine.
“BSP is love in action—a love translated into real movement and contribution. Every prayer, every step, and every activity during BSP is part of our defense of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the people of Palestine,” he said.
The event concluded with an inspiring message from Mardani Ali Sera, Chairman of BKSAP DPR RI:
“Palestine is the test of our faith. Let us continue to stand and fight until Palestine is free,” he declared.
