Exclusive Video, MUI Secretary General Amirsyah Tambunan Explains About Hajj Amid Middle East Unrest

JAKARTA - The 2026 hajj is overshadowed by the turmoil of war in the Middle East after the United States and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, 2026. This situation, said the Secretary General of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Dr. H. Amirsyah Tambunan, MA., makes many parties wary of the impact on the region including Mecca and Medina where millions of Muslims perform the hajj. He hopes that this year's hajj will go smoothly and that the Middle East situation will calm down and the war will calm down.
