President Prabowo: Indonesia Is Ready If Asked By Peacekeeping Forces In Palestine

JAKARTA - President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto expressed Indonesia's readiness to play an active role in maintaining peace in Palestine after the ceasefire agreement was reached at a meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

The Head of State said a number of major mediator countries, such as the United States, Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt, had asked Indonesia's readiness to support the peace process.

"We say we are ready. If we are asked by peacekeeping forces, peacekeeping troops, Indonesia are ready," Prabowo said after arriving in the country via Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base, Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, October 14.

The President explained that the peacekeeping plan would be discussed technically further with various related parties. He emphasized that this process requires in-depth discussion and cannot be carried out in a hurry.

"I have emphasized that. We will now talk about the details, this is still complicated, not easy. But yes, we are starting work," said Prabowo.

Previously, Indonesia had actively distributed humanitarian aid to Gazans, including through the delivery of Hercules ships and aircraft carrying thousands of tons of rice and various basic necessities.

President Prabowo had previously ordered the TNI to prepare peace forces ready to be dispatched to Gaza if the peace summit in Egypt resulted in an agreement and was mandated by the UN Security Council.

The instruction was delivered in a limited meeting at the President's residence on Jalan Kertanegara, Jakarta, before leaving for Egypt to attend the summit which discussed concrete steps to stop the war in Gaza.

Dalam pidatonya pada Sidang Umum PBB ke-80, Prabowo menegaskan bahwa Indonesia siap mengerahkan hingga 20.000 prajurit untuk misi perdamaian di berbagai wilayah konflik, termasuk di Gaza, apabila mandat resmi diberikan oleh PBB.
