Indonesia’s president, Prabowo Subianto, was among 20 world leaders invited to the Gaza Peace Summit in Egypt, but his presence raised more questions than answers. Why was a Southeast Asian leader called to fix a crisis that has consumed the Middle East for decades? What leverage does Indonesia, an island nation thousands of miles away, bring to the table?

But as Indonesia steps into the Gaza peace process, a new controversy is brewing. A hot mic moment between Subianto and Trump has set off speculation about overlapping business and diplomacy. Is Indonesia’s rising role in global politics being tested or cemented in Gaza?
