Prabowo Subianto, President of Indonesia, has clarified that Indonesia will not pay the $1 billion joining fee for permanent membership in the 'Board of Peace', an initiative formed after the Donald Trump administration, Qatar, and Egypt negotiated a ceasefire in Gaza. Indonesia has only committed peacekeeping troops to the initiative, specifically 8,000 troops for Gaza. Prabowo Subianto has faced domestic criticism from Indonesian Muslim groups for joining the board and pledging troops. He attended the inaugural meeting in Washington but stated Indonesia would withdraw if the board does not benefit Palestinians or align with Indonesia's national interests. Despite signing a tariff deal with the United States last month, Prabowo Subianto insisted Indonesia could withdraw from any agreement threatening its national interest. Talks with the United States regarding a peacekeeping mission to Gaza have been put 'on hold', as reported by TT News Agency citing Vahd Nabyl Achmad Mulachela.
