Traveler John Valentino shared photos on the Travel Indonesia Facebook group from a village on Seram Island that he described as "Israeli." Valentino questioned the prevalence of Jewish symbolism in the village of Kamarian, where houses were painted in the colors of the Israeli flag and Stars of David were visible on buildings and even roadways. He noted that other villages displayed different flags. Internet users informed Valentino that the residents are Christians who support Israel due to their faith, adherence to biblical tradition, and pressure they face from Muslims.

However, media reports have indicated Indonesia's intention to join the Abraham Accords and its plan to send a contingent to the Gaza Strip.
