Indonesia's president-elect, Prabowo Subianto, announced on Saturday that his country is prepared to send significant peacekeeping forces to Gaza if requested by the United Nations. This offer includes providing protection, security, and medical personnel to support a prospective ceasefire. Prabowo also endorsed the U.S.-backed peace plan in Gaza, calling it the 'right step'. Muslim-majority Indonesia's readiness to contribute to peacekeeping efforts in Gaza underscores its commitment to international peace and security. The deployment is contingent on Hamas accepting the ceasefire proposal.
