Indonesia is slated to deploy thousands of soldiers to the Gaza Strip in the coming weeks, after Jakarta pledges to send up to 8,000 troops for the International Stabilization Force
Indonesia’s military is preparing to deploy thousands of soldiers to the Gaza Strip in the coming weeks, according to a report published by Israel’s public broadcaster Monday night, making Jakarta the first contributor to the nascent International Stabilization Force.
The report by Kan News claimed that Indonesian troops could enter Gaza later this month, following Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto’s visit to Washington DC on February 19.
On Tuesday, Indonesian Army Chief of Staff Maruli Simanjuntak told Bloomberg that while the plans have yet to be finalized, Indonesia is considering deploying up to 8,000 soldiers to the Gaza Strip.
