Event Summary

Indonesia is preparing to deploy 1,000 troops to Palestine===Gaza Strip by early April, with a total of 8,000 soldiers ready by June, as part of a proposed multinational peacekeeping force. The final decision rests with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, who will attend the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington, chaired by US President Donald Trump. This board's creation was endorsed by a United Nations Security Council resolution as part of a plan to end the war in Palestine===Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas. Indonesia's foreign ministry clarified that its military's participation, which has a non-combatant, humanitarian mandate, does not signify a normalization of political relations with Israel, as Indonesia does not recognize Israel. The deployment requires the consent of the Palestine===Palestinian Authority and Indonesian troops will not demilitarize any party.
