General Chairman of the Central Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU), KH Hasyim Muzadi has expressed his hope that the Indonesian government would use the visit of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to Indonesia on Monday (Oct. 22) to encourage Fatah and Hamas to unite.
"Many Islamic countries strongly support the struggle of the Palestinian people. However, the key for the Palestinian independence is the unity of Hamas and Fatah, in addition to concrete support from Arab nations," he said here on Sunday.<>
He said that Hamas and Fatah could combine their strengths as Hamas has good fighting strategies while Fatah has good international diplomacy strategies.
Muzadi also emphasized that member countries of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) should provide financial support to Palestine, in addition to extending political and morale support.
He said Israel with the support of the United States of America, some European countries and Australia, did want to see Palestine to become an independent country.
As reported by the state news agency, the United Nations (UN) has applied double standard policies concerning the conflicts between Israel and Palestine, according to the NU chairman.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is scheduled to receive President Mahmoud Abbas at Merdeka Palace, Jakarta on Monday (22/10). (dar)
