Over 1,500 Join Solidarity Run for Palestine in Bogor

Palestinian Ambassador to Indonesia Abdulfattah Al-Sattari lauded the immense solidarity shown by the Indonesian public after participating in the Solidarity Run for Palestine event in Bogor, West Java, on Sunday morning, November 8, 2026.

Organized by the Aqsa Working Group (AWG), the charity run drew more than 1,500 participants, significantly surpassing its initial target of 1,000 runners.

Ambassador Al-Sattari personally completed the rigorous 10-kilometer course alongside enthusiastic crowds, earning a finisher’s medal at the conclusion of the morning event. “The Palestinian people are very happy and proud to see such massive support from the Indonesian people,” Ambassador Al-Sattari said in Bogor, as quoted by Antara.

He noted that the initiative highlights grassroots and institutional backing across all layers of Indonesian society.

AWG Chief Patron Yakhsyallah Mansur explained that the athletic gathering was designed to promote physical health and vigor among supporters advocating for Palestinian causes.

“In a healthy body, there is a healthy mind, and people with sound minds surely support the liberation of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the struggle of the Palestinian nation,” Yakhsyallah stated.

The solidarity run marks a major highlight of the Palestinian Solidarity Month (BSP) throughout November 2026.

Upcoming events in the month-long calendar include a Summit for Palestine scheduled for November 14–15, a journalism discussion on November 19, the Baitul Maqdis Festival, an Anti-Zionist Symposium, and a closing Long March Cinta Al-Aqsa concluding at Jakarta’s Istiqlal Mosque on November 28–29, coinciding with the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.(UYR/RRI)
