(Photo: Reuters)JAKARTA — Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto has reassured local Islamic groups that he will withdraw from United States President Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' if the platform does not benefit Palestinians, a government statement said on Friday. Prabowo will withdraw from the board if it does not benefit Palestinian and Indonesian interests, the statement quoted Hanif Alatas of the Islamic Brotherhood Front as saying. Nahdlatul Ulama, the country's largest Muslim group, said Indonesia's government could use the board to encourage de-escalation in the Middle East. All Board of Peace discussions have been halted due to the war, Indonesia Foreign Minister Sugiono has previously said.
