        "summary": "Religious leader KH Abdussalam Shohib, known as Gus Salam, has called for a boycott of Israel following the inhumane treatment and kidnapping of Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) volunteers. He criticised the Zionist regime's disregard for international law and suggested that global powers use Israel as a proxy to control Middle Eastern resources.",
        "content": "<p>KH Abdussalam Shohib, popularly known as Gus Salam, has stated that\nthe treatment of Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) volunteers by Israeli\nZionists is inhumane. He emphasised that humanitarian missions must be\nprotected from violence and should never be subjected to captivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHumanitarian aspects must be prioritised above all regulations and\nconstraints. Even during obligatory prayers, one is permitted to break\nthe ritual if it is an emergency situation to save a human life,\u201d Gus\nSalam said in a statement on Saturday, 23 May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Gus Salam expressed doubt regarding Israel\u2019s intention\nto adhere to international law, suggesting that the character of the\nZionist regime is designed to undermine the international order. He\nwarned that if the pursuit of a \u2018Greater Israel\u2019 is not halted,\nhumanitarian crises will persist across West Asia or the Middle\nEast.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the Middle East, being rich in natural resources such\nas oil and gas, is being contested by capitalists from the Americas and\nEurope. In his view, Israeli Zionism serves as a puppet for these powers\nto ensure the Middle East remains an unequal partner.<\/p>\n<p>Gus Salam identified figures such as Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar\nBen-Gvir as examples of Zionist leaders who recognise the benefits of\nIsrael acting as a proxy for the US and Europe. He described such\nleaders as arrogant and unwilling to engage in dialogue unless it serves\nZionist interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this continues, the human casualties and humanitarian crises in\nGaza, Jerusalem, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and other Middle Eastern\nnations will never cease,\u201d he said. He added that humanitarian activists\nproviding aid to conflict victims will continue to face obstruction,\nexpulsion, and inhumane treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Gus Salam called for the international community to\nexert continuous pressure and impose sanctions on Israel. He suggested\nthat if the United Nations is unable to act due to the veto power held\nby the US, France, or the UK, then every nation concerned with humanity\nshould apply pressure and sanctions through their respective national\npolitical policies.<\/p>",
