Indonesia, along with seven other Muslim-majority nations, has announced its joining of the Gaza Peace Council initiated by US President Donald Trump. The decision was revealed in a joint statement by foreign ministers, including Indonesia's Sugiono, to support stability in Palestine. However, experts warn against involvement that could harm Palestinian interests.
Following initial de-escalation efforts including a proposed mediation visit by President Prabowo, Indonesia has postponed its 2026 D-8 Summit due to the worsening Middle East conflict and confirmed it did not co-sponsor UN Security Council Resolution 2817 condemning Iran's attacks on Gulf states.

The US and Israel's military aggression against Iran at the end of February 2026 has raised doubts about the credibility of the Board of Peace (BoP). DPR member TB Hasanuddin stated that the attack proves the anti-peace nature of BoP leaders, while an international relations expert views it as a test for the global peace narrative. The Indonesian government is urged to take a firm stance and leverage its BoP membership for diplomacy.
