Muzani Says Indonesia Joins Board of Peace to Free Palestine from Israel's Grip

Jakarta, VIVA – Speaker of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) Ahmad Muzani said Indonesia’s participation in the Board of Peace (BoP) represents a concrete step towards liberating Palestine from Israel’s grip.

He expressed gratitude that President Prabowo Subianto had the courage to take such a diplomatic initiative.

According to Muzani, the move also serves as a breakthrough in enhancing Indonesia’s reputation on the international stage.

“This is certainly an extraordinary diplomatic effort,” Muzani told reporters, as quoted by ANTARA on Sunday, 22 February 2026.

Furthermore, he assessed that Indonesia’s participation in the BoP is crucial for peace in Gaza, particularly as the Muslim community in Gaza is currently observing worship during the month of Ramadan.

“So that they can enjoy this month of Ramadan peacefully and well, and can enjoy Ramadan together with their respective families,” he said.

Beyond the BoP matter, Muzani said Prabowo’s visit to Washington DC, United States, also yielded very positive results, with plans for significant US investment in Indonesia.

“I think this is proud news, even though these are still memoranda of understanding, so that our industries can compete and perform even better,” he said.

Previously, President Prabowo Subianto reaffirmed Indonesia’s position in supporting the realisation of peace in Palestine through active participation in the Board of Peace.

“We will realise the dream of peace in Palestine, a sustainable solution for Palestine and in Gaza,” the Head of State said in Washington DC, United States, on Thursday, 19 February 2026 local time.
