Indonesia plans to send 1,000 soldiers to Gaza by April 2026, with a total of 8,000 troops deployed by June, as part of a US-led International Stabilization Force. This deployment occurs under President Trump's Board of Peace. While Indonesia has a history of UN peacekeeping involvement, concerns are rising within Indonesia regarding the mission's oversight. Critics fear that without UN supervision, Indonesian forces could be manipulated by the US to control Palestinians and legitimize the occupation of Gaza. The lack of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Israel further complicates the situation, raising questions about Indonesia's role in the region.
