"Just a few days before the president of Indonesia was supposed to go to Washington for the first meeting of the so-called "Board of Peace," a council created and chaired by US President Donald Trump, the spokesperson for the Indonesian military made a controversial announcement. Army spokesperson Donny Pramono said Indonesia was ready to deploy as many as 1,000 soldiers to Gaza by April, and could increase that to 8,000 by the end of June this year."
"The Indonesian announcement made it the first country in the world to go public with an offer to send troops. If it goes ahead, the deployment would also be one of the largest contributions to a peacekeeping force in the world. The deployment still has to get final approval from Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. "The departure schedule remains entirely subject to the political decisions of the state and applicable international mechanisms," Pramono told news agency Reuters."
Indonesia offered to send up to 1,000 soldiers to Gaza by April, potentially increasing to 8,000 by the end of June, with final approval required from President Prabowo Subianto. The proposed deployment would join a US-supported stabilization force tied to a Board of Peace project chaired by US President Donald Trump and linked to a United Nations Security Council-approved Gaza plan. The announcement made Indonesia the first country publicly to offer troops and could represent one of the largest peacekeeping contributions globally. Domestic skepticism and protests emerged, and military spokespeople said deployment timing remains subject to political decisions and international mechanisms.
