- On Feb 11, Indonesia confirmed President Prabowo Subianto will attend the inaugural Board of Peace meeting chaired by US President Donald Trump on Feb 19 in Washington.
- Seeking a two-state solution, Indonesia will advocate for Palestinian independence and push for Gaza recovery at the Washington forum, according to foreign ministry spokesperson Vahd Nabyl Achmad Mulachela.
- Indonesia's military said this week it is ready to send up to 8,000 troops to Gaza if confirmed, but Rico Ricardo Sirait, defence ministry spokesman, said no final decision has been made.
- The board's reported $1 billion fee has drawn criticism, and Indonesia has not confirmed payment; the Cabinet secretary said membership is non-permanent and could be withdrawn, while Prabowo plans to seek negotiation of the fee.
- Around 19 countries have signed up, and Israel's participation with Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, is expected to draw criticism given more than 72,000 reported Gaza fatalities and ICC proceedings.
