A top Muslim cleric from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Indonesia’s largest Islamic organization, is scheduled to deliver a speech in Jerusalem after an invitation from an Israeli organization.

NU supreme council secretary-general Yahya Cholil Staquf, who is also known as Gus Yahya, has reportedly been invited by the Israel Council on Foreign Relations to deliver a speech titled “Shifting Geopolitical Calculus: From Conflict to Cooperation” at the David Amar World North African Jewish Heritage Center in Jerusalem on June 13.

The news about his planned departure for Jerusalem, which was announced by an Israeli journalist with the handle @simonarran on Twitter, has sparked controversy in Indonesia as Tel Aviv recently announced that it would bar Indonesians from entering the country in retaliation for Jakarta’s move to deny visas to dozens of Israeli citizens.

Israel claimed that Jakarta made the move in response to the ongoing violence in Gaza, which has left dozens of Palestinians dead at the hands of Israeli security forces.

The ban was supposed to take effect on June 9, but Israel waived it until June 26.

It is unclear if Yahya, who also serves as an adviser to President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, will fly to Israel. He was not available for comments on Sunday. Numerous calls from The Jakarta Postwere not returned.

On Saturday, NU executive Robikin Emhas confirmed that Yahya had been invited to deliver a speech in Israel but his departure was personal and did not represent his organization.

“I believe that Gus Yahya’s presence [in Israel] is to give support [to the Palestinians] and to show the world, particularly Israel, that Palestine is an independent nation,” he said in a statement. (kha/stu/ahw)

FMS itu bukan kontrak, setelah kontrak antara kemenhan RI dan US DOD maka secara berkala US DOD akan memberikan kontrak kepada manufakturer secara terpisah misalkan ke Boeing untuk airframe, ke produsen rudal misalnya Raytheon, ke produsen avionik dan kontrak itu gelondongan, sekalian sama pesanan negara2 lain. Silahkan akses web US DOD, saya sudah nyari ndak ketemu, tapi kontrak2 lain mulai dari airfreme, auxiliary fuel tank, hellfire, avionik dan lainnya ada. Bahkan kontrak pelatihan juga ada tapi kintrak radar Longbow ndak nemua.

Tokyo (ANTARA News) - Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla received a courtesy call from Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh on the sidelines of the International Conference on the Future of Asia at the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, on Tuesday.

During the meeting, Kalla and Binh discussed several issues concerning the bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and Vietnam; Vietnamese fishermen who have legal case in Indonesia; and a plan to determine regional minimum wage in Southeast Asia.

"The meeting with Binh discussed better bilateral relations and investments. They asked us to give legal attention and settlement to Vietnamese fishermen who are still detained in Indonesia," Kalla noted here on Tuesday.

During a half-hour closed-door meeting, the two leaders also discussed minimum wage policy for Indonesian and Vietnamese workers in relation to industrial investment in each country.

The difference in minimum wage standards in both countries, in which Vietnam is lower than Indonesia, causes foreign industrial investment to Vietnam to be more desirable than that to Indonesia.

"There is also a discussion on minimum salary for Indonesian and Vietnamese workers, as well as other countries, to avoid continuous pressures by industries. We want to work together, and we have discussed on how to set minimum wages for ASEAN region," Kalla remarked.

According to him, the difference in minimum wage of workers in Asean countries causes inequality and industrial competition from foreign investment among Asean countries.

Therefore, the Indonesian government supports the minimum wage agreement for workers in Asean countries.

"That issue has been explored, and the Ministry of Manpower has also tried to talk about it. I ask them to discuss with the Minister of Labor of Vietnam and also other countries," Kalla revealed.

The International Conference on the Future of Asia is held annually by Nikkei media, Japan, by presenting leaders of Asian countries to discuss current conditions in regional countries.

The conference was also attended by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad, Korean Deputy Prime Minister Kim Dong-Yeon and Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean.
