Mahmoud Al-Habbash seeks enhanced Indonesian support for Palestine

Mahmoud Al-Habbash, the Palestinian Chief Justice and advisor to the President for Religious Affairs, held meetings in Jakarta to strengthen cooperation with Indonesian religious and humanitarian organizations.

During discussions with leaders of the Nahdlatul Ulama association and the Indonesian Council of Mosques, Al-Habbash emphasized the need for religious and humanitarian support for the Palestinian people amidst ongoing conflict. The talks focused on protecting Islamic and Christian holy sites, particularly the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the role of religious scholars in raising awareness about the centrality of the Palestinian cause.
