JAKARTA - The General Chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama General Board (PBNU) Yahya Cholil Staquf alias Gus Yahya said the Board of Peace (BoP) needs to be a vehicle to encourage de-escalation and peace from the current war in the Middle East.
According to him, BoP has not created any actions because it has just started talking. However, there are Middle Eastern countries and Indonesia in it that have also agreed to continue to communicate.
"All of this will later be an instrument to make this BOP a vehicle to encourage de-escalation and peace," said Yahya as quoted by ANTARA.
After the discussion at the silaturahmi event, he conveyed that President Prabowo Subianto would try to use the BoP as an instrument in promoting peace.
If necessary, he said, Indonesia could also declare that the BoP agenda should be postponed until there are talks for de-escalation of the war between the United States-Israel and Iran.
Previously, President Prabowo Subianto shared the moment of breaking the fast with Rais Aam, the General Manager of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) KH Miftachul Akhyar, Muhammadiyah Chairman (Ketum) Prof. Haedar Nashir, and the Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) KH Anwar Iskandar at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Thursday.
In one corner of the room at Istana Merdeka, as shared by the official @prabowo social media account, President Prabowo enjoyed a meal of takjil and dates while breaking the fast with Rais Aam PBNU, Ketum of the Central Management (PP) of Muhammadiyah, and Ketum MUI at a small round table that was enough for four people.
