He argues for pragmatic, inclusive use of tools to stop the fighting, likening resource constraints to digging a hole with a spoon and emphasising that every potential aid to peace matters.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 Yahya Cholil Staquf, the General Chairman of\nNahdlatul Ulama\u2019s Central Board (PBNU), says Indonesia needs to utilise\nall instruments at its disposal to promote peace amid the escalation of\nglobal conflict. He said this at the Presidential Palace complex in\nJakarta on Thursday, in response to Indonesia\u2019s position on the Board of\nPeace (BoP) in safeguarding peace in Palestine. \u2018We are looking for ways\nto utilise BoP for the peace endeavour,\u2019 he said. Gus Yahya stated that\nthe various mechanisms available should be used to the maximum to\nsupport the peace effort. He likened the effort to someone who must dig\na hole but does not have a shovel. If what is available is only a spoon,\nthen that spoon must be used. \u2018If we need to dig a hole and there is no\nshovel, if the only tool is a spoon, we dig with a spoon, like that,\u2019 he\nsaid. He emphasised that this approach underlines the importance of\nutilising any instrument available for the greater goal, namely to stop\nthe conflict and realise peace. He argued that something that seems\nsmall or weak should not be ignored if it can still assist the peace\nprocess. \u2018We use anything because the pursuit of peace is absolute,\u2019 he\nsaid. He stressed that all parties need to maximise every opportunity\nand instrument available to stop the war.<\/p>",
