        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has assured that the 2026 Hajj pilgrimage will proceed smoothly despite ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, which have driven up flight costs and logistics challenges. President Prabowo Subianto has directed that any cost increases be absorbed by the state through APBN funding and BPKH management, rather than passed on to pilgrims. Coordination with Saudi Arabia confirms ample supplies of food, energy, and water, emphasising the pilgrimage's role in promoting peace.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah states that the 2026 Hajj\nimplementation is affected by the ongoing hot conflicts in the Middle\nEast. Nevertheless, the government continues to ensure the smooth\nexecution of the Hajj pilgrimage. \u201cUp to this moment, we are fully\nprepared to depart the first batch of pilgrims starting on 22 April,\u201d\nsaid Deputy Minister of Hajj and Umrah of Indonesia, Dahnil Anzar\nSimanjuntak, when contacted on Friday (10\/4\/2026). Dahnil explained that\nthe tense situation in the Middle East impacts flight costs, which have\nincreased. President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s directive is that these cost\nincreases must not be borne by the pilgrims. \u201cPresident Prabowo has\nissued an order that all flight-related cost increases must not be\npassed on to the pilgrims; the state must find solutions to ease the\nburden. Therefore, we are currently seeking financing schemes from the\nAPBN and finances managed by BPKH (Hajj Financial Management Agency),\u201d\nhe clarified. Additionally, the conflict affects the availability of\nlogistics in the holy land. The Indonesian government has coordinated\nwith the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and ensured that logistics for\nIndonesian pilgrims are secure. \u201cThe Saudi Arabian government provides\nassurances that the availability of food logistics, energy, and water\nduring the upcoming three-month Hajj season is more than sufficient, and\nthey guarantee that the Hajj implementation will proceed as usual and\nremain safe and comfortable,\u201d he said. \u201cInsyaallah, we can worship with\ndevotion; Hajj is a pilgrimage that calls for peace,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
