        "content": "<p>Jakarta, KOMPAS.com - Cholil Nafis, Deputy General Chairman of the\nIndonesian Ulema Council (MUI), has urged Indonesia to exit the Board of\nPeace (BoP) because it was initiated by US President Donald Trump, who\nhe says does not take a pro-peace stance. \u2018I think the BoP issue is the\nsame; if we request, it is not effective, just withdraw,\u2019 Cholil said\nahead of attending a iftar gathering with Indonesian President Prabowo\nSubianto and other Muslim organization leaders at the Presidential\nPalace in Jakarta on Thursday (5\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Cholil views that the BoP is currently not effective in easing the\nIran\u2013US and Israel conflict. \u2018So we see that it is not effective being\nin the BoP because the initiator also does not present a track record or\ncurrent stance that favours peace,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he hopes Indonesia can participate in peace-building in\nline with the principle of independent and active foreign policy amid a\nwarming money-war in the Middle East. He believes every country should\nrespect the sovereignty of others. \u2018Let us not let this war burden\ncivilians. We also hope this can create peace by maximising the roles of\nthe UN and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), because\neveryone will lose if this war continues,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Israel was the first to confirm that it officially attacked Iran.\nIran\u2019s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the strike.\nMissiles rained down on Tehran. Iran retaliated by firing several\nmissiles at locations linked to the US military operation. Some US air\nbases attacked include Al Udeid in Qatar, Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait,\nAl-Dhafra Air Base in the UAE, and the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in\nBahrain.
