The Board of Peace will convene its inaugural meeting on February 19th. The Board, which the U.S. President, Donald Trump, claims as an “international organization” was set to become a new international peacebuilding body with Gaza as its first ‘peace project’. Several member states were invited to join the Board, but only a handful eventually joined and became the founding members. One of those founding members is Indonesia. President Prabowo’s decision to join the Board has received domestic backlash, with some writings already highlighting the normative and political concerns, the ‘family company’ structure of the Board, and the empty slogans for Palestinian independence.
