A crowd gathered in front of the United States Embassy in Jakarta on Sunday, June 14, 2026, to express solidarity with Palestine and condemn alleged Israeli actions. The demonstration, organized by civil society groups under the banner "Peduli Palestina" (Caring for Palestine), echoed calls for freedom and justice for the Palestinian people.

They issued a strong demand for governments worldwide to apprehend those responsible for alleged genocide crimes. The demonstration highlighted the ongoing conflict and the humanitarian crisis in the region.
