REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, CAIRO - Indonesia President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono during the 12th Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) Conference in Cairo calls for a big measure to reach Palestinian liberation.

The President said the freedom of Palestine was still neglected. They live with little hope for the future, while, in the other hand, Israelis continue violate Palestinian rights.

"We have to do more. We can help Palestine strengthening its capacity as a state," SBY said representing Asian region, reported by Nasihin Masha from Republika.

SBY explained that Indonesia provided capacity building for 1,000 Palestinians. For the last five years, Indonesia has trained 842 Palestinian officials.

Even though the United Nations (UN) has elevated Palestine status from "non-member observer entity" to "non-member observer state, more diplomatic measures must be intensified to Palestinian rights.
