Indonesia may commit nearly 8,000 troops to the proposed multinational peacekeeping force for Gaza that could total about 20,000 soldiers, a spokesperson for President Prabowo Subianto said Tuesday.
The spokesperson added, however, that no deployment terms or areas of operation had been agreed.
Prabowo has been invited to Washington later this month for the first meeting of U.S. President Donald Trump's Board of Peace.
The Southeast Asian country last year committed to ready 20,000 troops for deployment for a Gaza peacekeeping force but it has said it is awaiting more details about the force's mandate before confirming deployment.
"The total number is approximately 20,000 (across countries) ... it is not only Indonesia," presidential spokesman Prasetyo Hadi told journalists Tuesday, adding that the exact number of troops had not been discussed yet, but Indonesia estimated it could offer up to 8,000.
