Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. A viral Facebook post alleging that President Prabowo Subianto permitted Israel to test missiles in Indonesian territory has been confirmed false.

According to Kompas.com (1/6 2026), no valid information supports the claim. The photo used in the post was taken during President Prabowo’s speech at the House of Representatives plenary session on May 20, 2026.

The official recording from TV Parlemen shows the President discussing economic growth targets, the weakening rupiah, and slow business licensing processes. At no point did he mention Israel or missile testing in Indonesia.

Authorities urge the public to remain cautious and verify information before sharing, as misleading claims can distort public perception and spread unnecessary alarm.
