JAKARTA - The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) said the provocative actions of Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir at Al Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, were very embarrassing and immoral. "The MUI condemns this action. This action is a very real signal and even an indirect invitation to all extreme Jewish people to come to the Aqsa Mosque complex to carry out worship,” said the Head of the MUI for Foreign Relations and International Cooperation Sudarnoto Abdul Hakim in a statement in Jakarta, Antara, Friday, January 6. He said the arrival of Jews would always be protected by the Israeli government and therefore they had nothing to worry about. According to Sudarnoto, it was Ben-Gvir who carried out the lobby to overhaul the management of this holy place so that Jews could pray there. "What Ben-Gvir has done has certainly trampled on the Al Aqsa Mosque complex and this is a continuation of the continuous zionist aggression," he said. This action will damage and destroy the peace negotiation process which has actually been carried out and provide a way, namely the solution of the two countries. "Therefore, MUI supports all countries that have criticized Ben-Gvir's actions, including Indonesia," he said. Sudarnoto asked the Indonesian government to continuously make efforts to have effective international pressure and force Israel to stop destructive acts. He said security, peace and stability could only be realized if Israel was forced to stop all forms of crime. “Ben-Gvir are extreme right-wing figures who at every opportunity always strive to pressure the Palestinian people so that they truly submit to Israeli zionism. He is already known as a person who develops hatred for Arabs and anyone who defends the struggles of the Palestinian people and people,” he said. Various acts of violence committed by Ben-Gvir when he was young, he continued, have become common knowledge. "Ben's desires, thoughts and actions are indeed evil," said Sudarnoto, especially against Arabs, especially those deemed to be blocking Israeli measures. "From the time the provocation to brutal acts beyond the limits of humanity has often been carried out by Jewish extreme groups and has caused many casualties," said Sudarnoto. He said the right-wing Jewish community group always received political, legal and even military protection to control Al Aqsa and even Palestinian soil. “On the other hand, Israeli authorities have always intimidated and trampled on the Palestinian people and people,” he said.
