Ashraf had visited Israel and that's why he was fired from his post. Meanwhile a senior official from Indonesia is also in Israel according to one website, stating that last August, an Israeli delegation of investors, technology, and trade specialists visited Indonesia. The volume of direct and indirect trade between Israel and Indonesia reaches approximately $500 million per year, the I24 news website maintained.
