Africa-Press – Mauritius. The public calls for a boycott of what are perceived as pro-Israeli businesses have been growing lately amid the worsening conditions in the Gaza Strip, but the government has expressed a reluctance to impose any official economic sanctions.
This hesitancy has been seen by experts as a reflection of Jakarta’s lack of trade leverage and its diplomatic tendency to disfavor unilateral coercive measures.
While a boycott may hurt Indonesia more, analysts agree that the country may still need to make a stronger diplomatic gesture to push for changes in the war-torn region.
Entering its third week, the war between Israeli armed forces and Palestinian militant group Hamas has only worsened, with Tel Aviv continuing its disproportionate attack on civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip and blockade of basic necessities.
