Many Indonesians Oppose Rp17 Trillion Contribution to Trump's Proposed BoP - Databoks

Indonesia officially became a member of the Board of Peace (BoP) after President Prabowo Subianto signed the Board of Peace Charter on Thursday, January 22, 2026, in Davos, Switzerland.

BoP, or the Peace Council, is an international organization initiated by US President Donald Trump, and is claimed to be a solution to resolve the Gaza conflict.

One of the issues highlighted regarding this body is the membership fee of US$1 billion, or around IDR 17 trillion, that its members need to pay.

Regarding this, a survey conducted by Media Survei Nasional (Median) revealed that the majority of citizens do not agree with Indonesia paying a deposit of IDR 17 trillion for BoP.

The total number of respondents who disagree is 73.3%, consisting of 34.1% who disagree and 39.2% who strongly disagree.

Meanwhile, respondents who agree with Indonesia paying the membership fee are 23.1%, consisting of 15.9% who agree and 7.2% who strongly agree.

The Median survey also revealed that 67.7% of Indonesians agree that BoP only benefits the US and Israel. Meanwhile, 27.5% disagree and 4.8% respondents said they don't know.

The survey was conducted online from February 10-14, 2026, with a target of 1,200 active social media users aged over 17 years. Note that Median did not specify the actual number of respondents.
