Indonesia Warns It Will Leave Peace Board if Palestinians Do Not Benefit

Post by : Saif Nasser

Indonesia has made it clear that it will not stay in any international peace effort that does not help the Palestinian people. The country has warned that it may withdraw from a global peace initiative if it fails to bring real benefits to Palestinians.

President Prabowo Subianto shared this message during a meeting with leaders of Islamic organizations in Indonesia. He explained that Indonesia joined the initiative to support peace and stability in Gaza, but the government would reconsider its participation if the effort did not help Palestinians in a meaningful way.

The peace initiative, sometimes called the “Board of Peace,” was proposed as part of a wider international plan to help rebuild Gaza and maintain security after years of conflict between Israel and Hamas. The plan includes cooperation between several countries that may provide financial help, political support, and possibly peacekeeping forces.

Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, has long supported the Palestinian cause. Because of this strong support, the government wants to make sure that any international plan truly benefits Palestinians and respects their rights.

President Prabowo said Indonesia’s involvement should never go against the country’s national values or its long-standing support for Palestinian independence. He told the religious leaders that Indonesia would not hesitate to leave the initiative if it turned out to be harmful or useless for Palestinians.

The president’s statement comes after concerns were raised inside the country. Some political groups and religious organizations worried that joining the peace board could weaken Indonesia’s traditional position on the Palestinian issue. They feared that international politics might influence decisions that should focus mainly on helping the Palestinian people.

To address these concerns, the government explained that Indonesia’s goal is to support peace and reconstruction in Gaza. Officials said the country is willing to work with the international community if the plan is fair and helpful.

Indonesia had also discussed the possibility of sending troops to join a peacekeeping force in Gaza if an agreement between the parties was reached. Such forces are usually sent by international partners to help keep peace after a conflict and to protect civilians.

However, the situation in the Middle East has become more complicated in recent weeks. Rising tensions and conflicts in the region have made many diplomatic efforts more difficult. Because of this, discussions about the peace board have slowed down.

Indonesia’s foreign ministry has said that talks about the initiative are currently paused due to the uncertain security situation in the region. Countries involved in the plan are reviewing their next steps.

Even with these challenges, Indonesia continues to show strong support for the Palestinian people. For many years, Indonesian leaders have spoken in international meetings in favor of Palestinian rights and a peaceful solution to the conflict.

Many experts believe Indonesia can still play a helpful role in global peace efforts. As a respected nation with strong ties to the Muslim world, it may be able to encourage dialogue and cooperation between different sides.

For now, Indonesia’s message remains firm and clear. The country is ready to support international peace efforts, but only if those efforts truly help the Palestinian people.

The coming months will show whether the peace initiative moves forward and whether it can gain the trust of countries like Indonesia that want real and fair progress for Palestinians.
