Seven Indonesian MPs from various political parties have expressed on Friday strong resentment against the participation of an Israeli company at an Indonesian trade expo.
A member from Indonesia's Justice Welfare Party (PKS) Al-Muzzammil Yusuf, who is also spokesman for the seven, told Antara news that the seven legislators have called upon ministries of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Industry as well as the Justice and Human Rights to provide explanation to the public and also the legislative on the presence of the Israeli company at the expo.
The government has not been consistent with the anti-colonialism spirit of the 1945 Constitution as well as the country's support for Palestinian independence, Al-Muzzammil said.
"We therefore warn the Indonesian government against rushing into opening any form of ties with Israel," he added.
According to Antara, the seven objecting legislators include Suripto (FPKS), Abdillah Toha dan Azlaini Agus (of the National Mandate Party), Joeslin Nasution (of Golkar Party), Nursyahbani Katjasungkana (of the National Awakening Party), dan Ahmad Fauzi (of the Democrat Party).
The International Automation Technology and Materials Handling Expo in the capital Jakarta is taking place from 3-6 December.
