Indonesia’s incoming president-elect Prabowo Subianto announced on Saturday ( Jun 1 ) that his nation was prepared to send peacekeeping forces to impose a ceasefire in Gaza.
Speaking at the Shangri- La Dialogue in Singapore, Asia’s top safety event, Prabowo said United States President Joe Biden’s three- step plan for a ceasefire in Gaza was a step in the right direction.
We are prepared to lead major security forces when required and when requested by the UN to maintain and check this potential peace as well as providing protection and security to all events and all sides, according to Prabowo.
The 72-year-old former special forces public and current Indonesian defense minister will assume the presidency of the most populous Muslim country in the world in October.
He claimed that Joko Widodo, the country’s outgoing president, had informed him that Indonesia was even prepared to “evacuate, to obtain, and treat with health care up to 1, 000 individuals” from Gaza.
In November, the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza, which was operated by an Indonesian non-governmental organization ( NGO ), shut down as a result of the ongoing fighting between Israel and Hamas.
A” simply answer” to the issue was required, according to Prabowo, along with a thorough research into the humanitarian crisis in the Rafah region of Gaza.
” And that means the freedom of not only Israel to occur, but also the right of the Arab people to have their own country, their own position, living in peace”, he added.
