Indonesia Embraces UN Plan for Gaza Stabilization Force

Indonesia supports a UN-backed resolution endorsing a peace plan for Gaza, involving troop deployment to aid in pacifying the region. The resolution aims to support Palestinian authority capacity building and achieve prolonged peace. Indonesia remains committed to an independent Palestinian state and is prepared to send 20,000 troops.

Indonesia has voiced its support for the UN Security Council's recent adoption of a U.S.-drafted resolution. This resolution is designed to back President Donald Trump's strategy to conclude the ongoing conflict in Gaza and introduce an international stabilization force, the foreign ministry announced on Tuesday.

The measure has been recognized by Yvonne Mewengkang, the foreign ministry spokesperson, as a pivotal step towards conflict resolution. She emphasized the active participation of all parties, particularly the Palestinian Authority, and reaffirmed Indonesia's unwavering support for a sovereign Palestinian state.

Furthermore, the Trump administration is working to gain support from countries like Indonesia and Egypt to send peacekeeping troops to support Gaza's demilitarization. Indonesia, a long-time supporter of Palestine, has expressed readiness to contribute up to 20,000 troops, with a focus on health and infrastructure development.
