JAKARTA - The controversy arose after a photo upload on July 15, 2024 regarding the visit of five young Nahdiyin scholars to Israel, which attracted public attention and caused various reactions.
This is due to complicated diplomatic relations between Israel and Indonesia, especially related to Palestinian issues.
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Roy Rolliansyah Soemirat, stated that the visit was a personal or group initiative and did not represent the official policies of the Indonesian government.
Regarding the visit of several NU youths to Israel, media colleagues should immediately contact PBNU for further information. I emphasize that this visit has nothing to do with the government's official position," Roy said in his statement, Monday, July 15.
On the other hand, Secretary General of the Nahdlatul Ulama Executive Board (Secretary General of PBNU) Gus Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) expressed his disappointment with the visit of five people on behalf of Nahdlatul Ulama youth.
Gus Ipul emphasized that the five youths had never received a mandate from PBNU.
"They did not get a mandate from PBNU and also did not ask us for permission," explained Gus Ipul in his statement last Monday.
