        "content": "<p>Republika.co.id, Jakarta \u2014 The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has\ncriticised Indonesia\u2019s membership of the Board of Peace (BoP),\nparticularly in the wake of attacks by Washington and Tel Aviv on Iran.\nAccording to MUI Deputy Chairman Buya Anwar Abbas, the figure of the\nUnited States President and BoP chair, Donald Trump, is highly\nproblematic.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that Trump is widely recognised as a major supporter of\nZionism and Israel\u2019s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has recently\nbecome known for his far-right political vision to realise a Greater\nIsrael whose territory would include all of Palestine, Jordan, Syria,\nLebanon, and parts of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat ambition is no longer just on paper; they have already realised\nit by controlling the entire Palestinian territories they occupy. The\nestablishment of a Greater Israel is just a matter of time,\u201d Buya Anwar\nAbbas told Republika on Saturday (7 March 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, he continued, BoP has lost its raison d\u2019\u00eatre or logical\nreason for existing since Israel joined the council. Moreover, the US\njoined Israel in attacking Iran. This military action has provoked\nunrest in the Middle East that remains unresolved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat more can be expected from the Board of Peace? I think there is\nnothing left. For BoP as an institution it can no longer be trusted,\u201d\nsaid the chairman of Muhammadiyah\u2019s Central Leadership (PP\nMuhammadiyah).<\/p>",
