Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Antara frames the conflict as 'narrative warfare' as much as military war—Prabowo's active non-alignment in action
- •Three Indonesian peacekeepers killed in Lebanon: the MPR demands troop withdrawal, the war becomes a domestic issue
- •Jakarta positions itself as moral voice of the Global South, neither mediator nor spectator—a role that assumes being heard
BIASES
Non-alignment presented as moral virtue rather than interest calculationFocus on information warfare to avoid taking a position on military substanceMuslim solidarity implicitly guides framing without being explicitly named

BIASES
Israeli security consensus: diplomacy is a parenthesis between military phasesGulf states presented as natural Israeli allies against Iran, without nuance on their divergencesComplete absence of the humanitarian dimension in framing
