        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has clarified that Indonesia never committed to paying US$1 billion in dues to the Board of Peace, an initiative by US President Donald Trump, and did not attend the founding donors' meeting in Washington. Instead, Indonesia is prepared to contribute peacekeeping troops as needed and will consider further involvement in Gaza's reconstruction once a ceasefire is achieved, building on prior efforts like constructing a hospital there. This stance underscores Indonesia's focus on non-financial support for global peace efforts amid international diplomacy.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia is confirmed never to have promised or committed to paying\ndues of US$1 billion to the Board of Peace or World Peace Council,\ninitiated by US President Donald Trump. This was affirmed by President\nPrabowo Subianto. \u201cSo we never said that we want to join the US$1\nbillion dues. No, never,\u201d Prabowo stated in an interview quoted on\nSunday (22\/3\/2026). Prabowo also revealed that Indonesia did not attend\nthe meeting of \u2018founding donors\u2019 countries for the BoP in Washington DC,\nUSA. \u201cAnd this, this was the meeting in Washington on 19 February last,\nwell, this is the founding donors. So, they each contributed, some\npossibly more. But Indonesia wasn\u2019t there. Because I also committed,\nwhen asked, I did not commit any money at all,\u201d Prabowo said. On the\nother hand, Prabowo stated that Indonesia is ready to be part of that\npeace council by contributing through the deployment of peacekeeping\ntroops. According to him, Indonesia is willing to send a number of\ntroops according to requirements. \u201cWe said, we are ready for\npeacekeeping troops, whatever is requested,\u201d he said. Prabowo continued\nthat the government will continue to follow future developments; when\nGaza\u2019s reconstruction can begin, Indonesia\u2019s contribution will be\nconsidered. He mentioned that Indonesia has also taken several steps to\nsupport Palestine, such as building a hospital in Gaza. \u201cIf a real\nceasefire succeeds and reconstruction starts, Indonesia could join,\nright. We have Baznas, we have, and before this, we have already built a\nhospital, we have done various things there. There is no commitment (for\ndues) at all,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
