The United Nations Security Council has approved a resolution mandating a transitional administration and an International Stabilization Force in Gaza that envisions a “credible pathway” to Palestinian statehood.
The resolution, drafted by the United States as part of President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan, passed in a 13-0 vote on Monday, paving the way for the crucial next steps for the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Russia and China abstained from the vote.
Indonesia welcomes the UN Security Council's adoption of a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza and establish an international stabilisation force, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
On Monday, foreign ministry spokesperson Yvonne Mewengkang said it welcomed the resolution and stressed the importance of every party's involvement in it, "especially the Palestinian Authority".
"The resolution prioritises conflict resolution and prolonged peace through the capacity building of the Palestinian authorities," Yvonne said in a statement. "Indonesia will always support an independent and sovereign Palestinian nation."
The Trump administration has been trying to persuade countries such as Indonesia and Egypt to contribute troops to the peacekeeping force, which will back the process of demilitarising Gaza by decommissioning weapons and destroying military infrastructure.
The world's largest Muslim-majority nation and a long-standing advocate of the Palestinian cause, Indonesia is ready to deploy up to 20,000 troops, its defence ministry said last week, adding that they would focus on areas like health and infrastructure.
