In a strategic move, Indonesia has announced that up to 8,000 of its troops may be ready by June for a potential deployment to Gaza on a humanitarian and peacekeeping mission. This marks a pivotal commitment to former US President Donald Trump's reconstruction plan for the region.
The Indonesian National Armed Forces have outlined the intended troop structure and movement schedule, awaiting governmental and international approval. Their mission will strictly focus on humanitarian actions such as civilian protection and medical support, distancing themselves from direct combat.
Indonesia aims to be the first nation to commit troops to Trump's Board of Peace initiative in Gaza, balancing its stance without formal ties to Israel, and highlighting its peacekeeping expertise gained from United Nations missions.
