Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto has announced that he’ll pull out of President Donald Trump’s controversial “Board of Peace” if it doesn’t directly benefit Palestinians. This conditional commitment comes as the ongoing Iran war casts a shadow over Indonesia’s involvement and has sparked a lot of discussion domestically.
Subianto, who leads the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, has been facing some heat from Muslim groups at home. According to Reuters, they’ve voiced criticism about his decision to join the board and, more specifically, to provide troops for a Gaza stabilization force. This force was part of a Trump-brokered ceasefire that wrapped up the two-year Israel-Hamas war. The “Board of Peace” also made waves recently when Israel joined as a member.
