Indonesian-based media outlet Republik reported on Saturday that Indonesian advocates are calling for a boycott of Israeli-linked products due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. 

The call for a boycott was initially launched by human rights groups in both Indonesia and Malaysia and gradually grew to garner support from various political parties, the outlet said.

The list reportedly includes companies such as Coca-Cola, Starbucks, McDonalds, KFC, Nestle and IBM. 

"We in the House of Representatives encourage this boycott movement of Israeli products to become the official stance of the Indonesian government to be followed by all businesses and society," a member of the country’s parliament, Amin Ak, told Republika on Wednesday.

Advocates of the boycott are urging individuals to opt for locally-made products over Israeli-linked ones.

"That would be a good moment to strengthen the tightening of the flow of imported goods, especially imports of some products," said a senior official at the Indonesian Industry Ministry, Putu Juli Ardika.

Since the genocide began, several countries have opted to boycott Israeli-linked products and services. Some have also opted to expell Israeli ambassadors. 

Last month, McDonald's "Israel" franchise announced it was providing free meals to the Israeli occupational forces (IOF), which sparked outrage in the region.

McDonald's Kuwait branch took to social media to say it "stands with Palestine" and pledged more than $160,000 to relief efforts in Gaza, while McDonald's Qatar also pledged $275,000 to relief efforts in Gaza, announcing it has nothing to do with the Israeli branch.

Starbucks has also taken a hit, as many groups and individuals in Lebanon have called to boycott it.

"I don't think that me boycotting these brands would affect them."
