Indonesia's Announces Mosque Rebuilding Initiative in Gaza as Ceasefire Holds

IQNA – The Indonesian Council of Mosques (DMI) has announced plans to construct 10 semi-permanent mosques in Gaza as part of their support for the Palestinian Muslim community in the aftermath of the recent ceasefire in the region.

Jusuf Kalla, the chairman of DMI, pointed the importance of rebuilding spiritual spaces for those impacted by the Israeli genocidal war. “Spiritual life is an important part that must be restored, especially for people who are facing difficult times like this,” Kalla stated during a meeting with DMI officials on Saturday.

The initiative aims to provide some of these mosques in Gaza’s refugee camps before the start of Ramadan, Sea Today reported on Sunday.

To facilitate the project, Kalla communicated directly with representatives of Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, on Saturday to coordinate the program’s implementation and finalize the locations for the mosques.

DMI highlighted that the ceasefire represents a critical opportunity for the Palestinian people, offering hope for a more sustainable peace.

The statement also noted the extensive destruction caused by the 15-month war, which severely damaged key infrastructure in Gaza, including homes, schools, hospitals, water and electricity networks, and places of worship, such as mosques and churches.
