Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto announced during a United Nations meeting that his nation would deploy tens of thousands of peacekeepers to conflict zones. He also stated that Indonesia could recognize Israel, contingent upon the first acknowledgment of Palestinian statehood. This pledge represents a potentially significant shift in Indonesia’s diplomatic strategy regarding the Israel-Gaza conflict. Critics have expressed concern regarding the potential implications for Indonesia’s longstanding pro-Palestinian advocacy. Others view the move as a calculated diplomatic action designed to enhance Jakarta’s international profile and influence. The specific details of the proposed engagement remain to be determined.
