Indonesia Commits 8,000 Troops to Gaza Peacekeeping Force
Indonesia pledges to deploy 8,000 troops to Gaza as part of the International Stabilization Force, focusing on humanitarian aid and reconstruction.
Indonesia has pledged to deploy 8,000 troops to Gaza as part of the International Stabilization Force (ISF), aiming to support peace and reconstruction efforts in the region. President Prabowo Subianto announced this commitment during the inaugural Board of Peace meeting in Washington, expressing optimism about achieving lasting peace.
The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) have outlined a deployment plan, starting with an initial group of 1,000 personnel ready by April, with the full contingent prepared by June. Army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Donny Pramono stated that the deployment schedule remains subject to political decisions and international mechanisms.
Indonesia's participation will be strictly humanitarian, focusing on civilian protection, medical services, and reconstruction, with no involvement in combat operations. The Foreign Ministry emphasized that any deployment would require formal consent from the Palestinian Authority and would be limited to Gaza.
The ISF, coordinated by the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), has faced challenges in securing troop commitments from other nations. While Indonesia has made a firm commitment, other countries have been hesitant, with some withdrawing or declining to contribute.
Indonesia's commitment to the ISF reflects its longstanding support for Palestinian self-determination and its active role in international peacekeeping efforts. The government has emphasized that its involvement aims to protect Palestinian interests and promote a two-state solution.
