Indonesia is reportedly readying 1,000 troops for possible deployment to Gaza by April as part of a U.N.-mandated stabilization force linked to a U.S.-backed peace plan. The initiative could elevate Jakarta’s global profile but carries significant domestic and diplomatic risks if the mission is perceived as undermining Palestinian rights or Indonesia’s non-aligned foreign policy tradition.
Indonesia’s planned 20,000-troop contribution to a U.N.-authorized Gaza International Stabilization Force would be a historic expansion of its peacekeeping role, but the mission’s Chapter VII mandate and unclear expectations on demilitarization create major operational and political exposure. With limited confirmed coalition participation and strong pro-Palestinian sentiment at home, Jakarta may face disproportionate risks if the force is perceived as advancing objectives not broadly accepted by Palestinians.
