Plans for the Gaza International Stabilization Force are in question as troop pledges stall
Indonesia put its 8,000-troop pledge on hold as none of the five countries promised significant contributions, officials said.
- Indonesia suspended its commitment of 8,000 troops for the International Stabilization Force last week, with Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin citing a lack of commitment from Washington and missing implementation guidelines.
- Three months after its announcement, the International Stabilization Force remains stalled with none of the five pledged countries contributing significant troops to the 20,000-strong force led by Gen. Jasper Jeffers.
- Following the loss of four peacekeepers in Lebanon, analyst Muhammad Zulfikar Rakhmat noted widespread skepticism in Indonesia over the unpopular Iran conflict and economic strain affecting public support.
- Board of Peace director Nickolay Mladenov stated the force cannot operate until Hamas disarms, with Israeli troops controlling 60% of Gaza and local health officials reporting over 880 Palestinian deaths since the ceasefire.
- Kosovo remains in the final phase of preparations for 20 troops, while Kazakhstan limited its support to a humanitarian field hospital and Albania cited ongoing reconnaissance activities as other nations delay commitments.
