Despite presenting itself as a strong defender of Palestinian rights, Indonesia granted a geothermal concession on Halmahera to PT Ormat Geothermal Indonesia, a company linked to Israel’s economic system. The move risks undermining Indonesia’s political stance on Palestine while placing a fragile forested environment under increased industrial pressure. On January 8, 2026, the Energy Ministry awarded the Telaga Ranu geothermal project as part of its Net Zero Emissions 2060 plan. While expanding renewable energy is important, critics argue it should not come at the cost of political consistency or environmental protection.

I’m a little disappointed by how (many) Indonesian critics reacted to Trump’s Board of Diplomacy (BoD) as if it were shocking. A sophisticated diplomat or international relations scholars should have seen this coming. Great powers shape institutions, see Mearsheimer 2001. That is what they do. When existing forums like NATO/UN no longer serve their interests, they create new ones. The real issue here is not procedure or morality, but power and leverage. Critics who insist on, or reduce geopolitics to a rule-based forum miss the reality that it remains a landscape of power, where gradients matter more than declarations. This is why reactive diplomacy i.e., protesting after decisions are made rarely shifts outcomes if it is not backed by capability. The NATO example makes this plain. Senior figures within NATO have openly acknowledged that Europe cannot currently defend itself without U.S. military support. This is not a failure of European values or institutions; it is an admission of structural dependence. Norms, treaties, and shared principles did not remove that asymmetry. Power did not disappear simply because rules existed to manage it. To avoid geopolitical naïveté, bebas aktif must be read properly. “Free” does not mean promiscuous, and “active” does not mean reactive moral signalling. Active means presenting leadership and plans early shaping the agenda rather than responding to it. For less influential countries like Indonesia, this is not optional. It is how limited structural power is compensated for: by setting the playing field early and ensuring others want to play your game. You articulate clearly and early. Focusing on, and strengthening, our foothold in Southeast Asia would be a good start.

Palestina dambakn yg sdh dicapai di Indonesia: kemerdekaan, persatuan, demokrsi, stabilitas, perdamaian, hidup normal,harapan. Ayo bantu !

Anak kecil yg bunuh diri itu, mati dibunuh keputusan politik negaranya sendiri. Sebab, negara yg membiarkan anak itu tak punya uang 10 ribu adl negara yg sama yg memberi uang 16,7 triliun ke organisasi yg didirikan predator anak utk mendukung pembunuh ratusan ribu anak lainnya.
