JAKARTA - Secretary General (Secretary General) of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board Saifullah Yusuf said his party would summon five Nahdliyins who met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog. The photo documentation of the Meeting went viral on social media.

"The person concerned will be summoned for further questioning and explanation regarding the purpose of his purpose, background, and who sent him, as well as other principles," said the man who is familiarly called Gus Ipul in a statement received in Jakarta, Monday, July 15, quoted by Antara.

In addition, he said that PBNU also immediately summoned the leadership of the autonomous body (banom), as well as the institutions that were dedicated to the five people.

"The General Chair will also summon the leadership of the banom and the institution that is the service concerned," he said.

He explained that if elements of organizational violations were found, it would not be impossible for the five people to be dismissed from their status as administrators of institutions or banoms.

Meanwhile, he regretted the visit of the five young Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) figures to Israel and met Isaac Herzog.

"The five people did not get the PBNU mandate, and also never asked PBNU for permission," he said.

According to him, the departure of the five people to Israel was a very unwise act amid the heated situation between Israel and Palestine. Moreover, he continued, NU as an organization in the front row condemned the continuing attacks carried out by Israel.

Their departure to Israel was a very, very unwise, confusing act, and received a lot of concrete criticism. The visit also hurt the feelings of all of us," he said.
