“On many occasions, I have expressed that we are willing to send a significant number of peacekeeping troops, if conditions permit and with the agreement of GCC member states,” Prabowo said during the summit, on Tuesday, May 27, 2025

The worsening humanitarian crisis in Palestine was a key topic of discussion at the high-level meeting. In his address, Prabowo delivered a strong appeal for collective action, urging both regional blocs to take a more effective and united stance in response to the ongoing tragedy.

“The humanitarian tragedy experienced by the Palestinian people is a tragedy, a sorrow, and a crime against humanity. It must unite us to take a more effective collective stance,” Prabowo emphasized.
