KN. Terrorism analysts have dismissed any immediate threat to Indonesia and its neighbours following the announcement of U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan earlier in October. At the time, Batam authorities tightened supervision at ports and immigration checkpoints amid concerns that returning foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) could exploit the Indonesian island’s proximity to enter Malaysia and Singapore. This comes as the peace plan may cause some terror groups to lose their bases of operation in Syria, Iraq and other conflict zones in the Middle East, causing their members to return home, including to Indonesia.
