Ankara: Indonesia's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday welcomed the UN Security Council's adoption of a US-drafted resolution authorizing a Board of Peace and an International Stabilization Force in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza. The resolution prioritizes "conflict resolution and sustainable peace," underscoring the importance of involving all parties, particularly the Palestinian Authority, in resolving the conflict and the peace process. It also emphasizes the necessity of a clear UN mandate for peacekeeping forces to realize a two-state solution in accordance with agreed international law and parameters.

According to Anadolu Agency, Indonesia has expressed its continued support for the Palestinian people's rights to "independence and sovereignty." In alignment with this stance, Indonesia has prepared 20,000 personnel for potential deployment to Gaza, showcasing its commitment to the stabilization efforts in the region.

The UN Security Council adopted the US-drafted resolution on Monday, which stipulates the formation of a Board of Peace and the authorization of an International Stabilization Force to oversee governance, reconstruction, and security efforts in the Gaza Strip. This resolution is part of a broader ceasefire and hostage swap agreement between Israel and Hamas that took effect on October 10, based on a 20-point plan presented by US President Donald Trump.

Key elements of the ceasefire deal include the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and the rebuilding of Gaza. The plan also envisages the establishment of a new governing mechanism in the region, excluding the Palestinian group Hamas. Since October 2023, the conflict has resulted in nearly 69,500 Palestinian deaths, mostly women and children, and over 170,700 injuries, amid widespread destruction in Gaza.
