"Indonesia regrets the failure of the UN Security Council to adopt the draft resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemlu) said in a post on the platform X on Thursday.
Indonesia also called on the international community to help realize a just and sustainable peace in Gaza and throughout the occupied Palestinian territories.
Indonesia believes joint action from the international community is important to uphold international humanitarian law and protect civilians, especially women and children in Gaza.
On Wednesday, the United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
The text co-sponsored by Algeria, Denmark, Greece, Guyana, Pakistan, Panama, South Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, and Somalia -- known as the E-10 -- received 14 votes in favor. The US was the only member against it.
As one of the five permanent members of the UNSC, the US holds veto power -- a negative vote that automatically blocks any resolution from moving forward.
