‘Hoping for immediate ceasefire’


THE nation’s largest Islamic organisation, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), called for restraint from both Palestine and Israel amid heightening conflicts in the region, saying in a statement that an open war would only harm civilians.

The call came as the latest addition to a growing number of appeals from Islamic groups across the nation, as death tolls on both sides continue to rise, and the government’s ongoing effort to find a contingency plan to evacuate its nationals intensifies.
