Indonesia assigned its Head of Mission to the Republic of Tunisia as the Ambassador non-resident for Palestine. This arrangement lasted until 1 June 2004, when the assignment was transferred to Indonesia's Ambassador for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Amman. During a visit to Jordan in May 2006, the President of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono reiterated Indonesia's support for Palestinian independence including through the resumption of peace talks, as well as expressing Indonesia's concern over the Palestinian conditions, including in terms of finance, amidst the economic sanctions imposed by Israel.
