Indonesia urged the new Israeli government to resume peace talks aimed at seeking peace and just resolution in the prolonging conflict between Palestine and Israel, an Indonesian senior official said here on Monday.

"The behavior changing of new Israeli government is essential since it has defied existing international agreements aimed at creating peace in Palestine," Triyono Wibowo, Indonesian Vice Foreign Affairs Minister told reporters after opening United Nation's Asia Pacific on the Question of Palestine meeting here.

Indonesia believes that holding Israel accountable in the prolonging conflict is an essential requirement for achieving the solution, Yuwono said.

The meeting was attended by delegates of 22 country members of UN-sanctioned Committee of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestine People chaired by Senegalese Paul Badji.

The objective of the meeting is to encourage broad international action, including from Asia Pacific states, in support of Israeli-Palestinian peace and for achieving a negotiated solution to the conflict based on a shared vision of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security, Badji said in his remarks.

"The result of the meeting will be brought to UN International meeting on the Question of Palestine scheduled on July 22 and 23 in Geneva. Besides that, it will eventually be brought to UN General Assembly meeting held annually in New York," Badji told Xinhua.
