HOUSE TO SUPPORT RI TROOPS AS UN PEACEKEEPERS IN PALESTINE
Padang, Jan 5 (ANTARA) - The House of Representatives (DPR)'s Commission I will support an eventual government decision to send military (TNI) members to Palestine as part of a United Nations peace-keeping force, a spokesman said.
Commission I member Slamet Effendi Yusuf said here on Monday the sending of TNI members would be one of the country's contributions to efforts to settle the conflict that has claimed hundreds of civilian lives in the current Israeli-Palestine conflict.
"We will support the sending of TNI members there not to wage a guerrilla war but as part of a UN peace-keeping force," he said.
Yusuf was here along with other members of the commission that deals with defense, communications and foreign affairs to observe security conditions in the region ahead of the implementation of the legislative elections in April.
He said Indonesia needed to take a clear diplomatic stance on the conflict that had claimed hundreds of civilian lives including sending TNI members there as part of UN peacekeeping forces.
The TNI has so far been involved in several UN peacekeeping missions with the last participation recorded in Lebanon in 2007 following the end of the war between Israel and Hezbollah.
