The Indonesian Military (TNI) is still waiting for an official government order to deploy its troops for the United States-backed international stabilization force (ISF) in Gaza, which pushes for more details about the mission, amid rumors about the country’s readiness to send its military.
TNI spokesperson Maj. Gen. Freddy Ardianzah reasserted the military’s readiness to participate in stabilization and peacekeeping efforts in the war-torn enclave through the ISF. The TNI, he added, had been planning and preparing personnel from all three branches.
However, the final decision will depend on the government in accordance with international legal frameworks and a fair and sustainable two-state solution, Freddy went on to say.
“In preparation for the next steps, the TNI is guided by the Indonesian government’s policy, which considers various aspects of foreign policy, international law as well as the safety and security of our personnel,” the spokesperson told The Jakarta Post on Monday.
On Dec. 16, Israeli newspaper Israel Today reported that Indonesia and Italy have agreed to send their troops with the condition that there would be no direct contact with Palestinian militant group Hamas during the mission.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Yvonne Mewengkang said last Friday that the government is “still in talks” regarding the troop deployment.
