The opening as it read in 2025
Bilateral relations Israel and Indonesia have no formal diplomatic ties, although they maintain quiet trade, tourism and security contacts. In 2012, Indonesia spoke of upgrading relations with Israel and opening a consulate in Ramallah , but this agreement was never implemented. Relations between the two countries have worsened since the 2023 Gaza war , especially when Israel attacked and occupied an Indonesian hospital in Gaza. It was reported that this increased Indonesia's support for Palestine . As Indonesia is working towards accession to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) , Israeli media reported that Indonesia has committed to establishing diplomatic ties with Israel for the first time. The OECD Secretary-General, Mathias Cormann, confirmed that Indonesia must establish diplomatic relations with all OECD member countries before any decision on its admission to the OECD is made. However, the Indonesian Government denied reports of any plan to develop diplomatic ties with Israel before any two-state solution is made and confirmed its support for Palestine's independence.
