According to reports from Arabic 21, Israeli media has announced that Indonesian forces are expected to commence operations in the Gaza Strip in approximately two weeks. This deployment would represent the first foreign military presence in the area as part of a ‘Multinational Stability Force’.<\/p>\n
The Israeli i24 network indicated that the initial delegation from Indonesia is anticipated to arrive in the occupied territories during the second week of March to coordinate and plan for the troop deployment in Gaza. Members of this delegation are set to meet with U.S. officials and Israeli authorities, marking their first entry into Palestinian territories.Additionally, Indonesia announced last Sunday that it is preparing around eight thousand military personnel who may be dispatched to the region under a proposal put forth by former U.S. President Donald Trump for Gaza. According to Doni Bramono, spokesperson for the Indonesian armed forces, these troops will be ready by the end of June, with the preparation of one thousand of them expected to be completed by April 2026.<\/p>\n
Bramono emphasized that a final decision regarding troop deployment has not yet been made, and discussions are ongoing. However, the structure of the units and timelines have been organized so that forces can be deployed to Gaza at any time upon command.The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that if troops are deployed, their mission will be limited and humanitarian in nature. The ministry’s statement clarified that these forces will not participate in any combat operations, although the use of ‘the right to self-defense’ may be considered as a last resort within the framework of international law to ensure the mission’s continuation.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, it was emphasized that the operational scope of Indonesian forces will be confined strictly to the Gaza Strip, recognized as an integral part of Palestinian territory, with Jakarta continuing to support the establishment of an independent Palestinian state as part of a two-state solution.Indonesia with a population of approximately 287 million is the largest Muslim-majority country and has no diplomatic relations with Israel. Previously the White House announced the approval of transitional governance mechanisms in Gaza which includes a ‘Peace Council’ ‘Gaza Executive Council’ ‘National Committee for Gaza Administration’ and ‘International Stability Force’. According to this plan stability forces will be responsible for overseeing security operations in Gaza disarmament and ensuring the security of humanitarian aid and reconstruction efforts.<\/p>\n
This initiative is part of the second phase of Trump’s plan to end the conflict in Gaza a 20-point proposal that received support from United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803 in November 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
