Indonesia's potential withdrawal from the Board of Peace could signal a shift in its foreign policy, potentially affecting diplomatic relations with the United States and other member nations. The ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which has halted Board of Peace discussions, creates uncertainty in the Middle East, impacting global oil markets and defense sector investments.
Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto has reassured local Islamic groups that Indonesia will withdraw from United States President Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' if it does not benefit Palestinians and Indonesian interests. This decision comes amid criticism over Indonesia's participation and its commitment to contribute troops to the International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza, which some see as compromising its long-standing support for Palestine. The Indonesian Ulama Council and Nahdlatul Ulama have expressed concerns, particularly regarding the United States's role in the ongoing Iran war, which has already halted all Board of Peace discussions. The Board of Peace, established under Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan, aims to rebuild Gaza and replace Hamas-run police. Indonesia, a Muslim-majority nation, has historically supported a two-state solution for Palestine and has provided humanitarian aid to Gaza. Prabowo Subianto has also sought to strengthen ties with the Donald Trump administration and made tentative calls for warmer relations with Israel.
