Thats idiotic, German soldiers would be treated like enemy occupation forces by locals, that means a lot of attacks and casualties.

how would a loyal Israeli ally ensure a peace there?

German army in the streets of Germany to protect germans is unconcievable because of the memory of nazism and genocide in Germany, sending german units to a warzone to help the israeli army conduct a genocide on the other hand is a pretty respectable position.

Good. This conflict would never get resolved without an international force to do the rebuilding, create jobs and proper education institutions, and de-Hamasify Gaza.

***as part of a hypothetical, international peacekeeping mission**
Another brilliant idea by the diplomat genius of Baerbock.

The Bundeswehr is neither able nor willing to carry out such a mission. This has already been made clear in recent months.
I don’t know why she’s bringing out this demand again. Apart from in her own bubble, she won’t score any points with the German population.

Would never happen but it’s called political posturing. it’s quite tragic the way they use people suffering for their own political gain.

Nice gesture, but not completely thought out. Western countries are seen as “the enemy” despite all the aid send to Gaza and paid for by the West. Seems to me an Arabic country which is on good terms with Israel would be more suited to become peace-keepers in Gaza.
For example Egypt. They occupied it before and that went very well. /s

It’s not within her power to decide that. We have a parliamentary army. And she only has 11 months left in office anyway.

Germany is not neutral in this conflict, they are highly pro-Israelis. What’s the point if it’s to replace the current occupiers with one of their beat supporters ?
Ireland and Spain would fit more into any such action, but they would rightly argue that Palestinians have right to a state of their own, without foreign interference.

Maybe they could try not selling weapons to Israel first?

There’s already an international peacekeeping mission in Lebanon and they’re doing a fine job keeping the peace

At least she’s putting money where her mouth is with what is an attempt at a solution, as naive as it may be
That’s more than most European countries have been doing except showing “concern”

This never worked anywhere in the past couple of centuries. Military peacekeeping is one of the biggest lies there is. There is only one way: irradicating all terrorists under comparibly huge losses in the allied forces and 0 collateral damage (because colleterals ALWAYS create new extremists). Western countries would have to flood Gaza and Lebanon with millions of forces, take losses and maintain Hearts and Minds in never before seen dimensions. The only other thing that could work is letting the entire middle east experience what Europe experienced from 1914 to 1945. Which means tenths of millions of dead, but it might irradicate the majority of extremists and mentally vaccinate the population.

LMAO, I’d really love to see a scenario where German troops will be permitted to say Israel did something wrong. “We saw Israel bomb another hospital but it didn’t happen and Israel had every right to do it and we will of course send them replacement for weapons they expended”

How about to limit the weapons you send israel and pressure them away from their plan to eradicate the palestinians?
30% of weaponry israel is killing civilians with are made by germany. Send to a leadership that is not worthy of support.
You can embargo them fast into obedience.
They lack interceptors and any weakness would be exploited fast by Iran or Hezbollah.
If Israel knows that they can do how they please and the arms will be shipped why would they change their behavior?

They want to fight the Israelis???

If she only could send the same troops to pacify the domestic islamists in her own country 💪🏻
