Indonesia: No relations with Israel

New Indonesian Foreign Minister Alawi Shehab said on Friday that Indonesia will not establish any relations with Israel unless the cause of Palestine is settled. News reports quoted Shehab as saying after the new government in Indonesia took its constitutional oath on Friday that his country's planning to improve its relations with all countries does not means "sacrificing its principles which might harm its long-term relations with its friends in the Arab states, especially with the Palestinian people."
