Jakarta – The Central Leadership of Persatuan Islam (PERSIS) welcomes and supports the Fatwa of World Ulama that obliges Muslims to help Palestinian Muslims fight against the genocide committed by Israel.
“We welcome and support the fatwa of the World Ulama Union that obliges all Muslims in the world to help Palestinian Muslims fight against the genocide committed by Israel,” said the General Chair of PP PERSIS, Ustaz Dr. Jeje Zaenudin, when asked for a statement on Wednesday (9/4/2024).
He emphasized that support must be given in all forms according to each individual’s capacity, including the mobilization of military forces by Muslim leaders. “Regarding military mobilization and mujahideen, of course, that authority lies in the hands of the government, not the authority of humanitarian institutions or religious organizations,” he said.
Therefore, the General Chair of PP PERSIS urged Muslim leaders to immediately respond to the fatwa by taking concrete steps to stop Israel’s atrocities by all possible means.
Regarding the genocide committed by Israel, Ustaz Dr. Jeje assessed that young Muslims around the world, and even some non-Muslims, sympathize with the people of Gaza. “Even they are willing to die as martyrs to be mobilized as volunteers and humanitarian fighters,” he concluded. ***
