Germany: An honest broker for Middle East diplomacy?
Germany: An honest broker for Middle East diplomacy?
Germany’s self-described special relationship with Israel affects its position on the war between Israel and Hamas. Yet Annalena Baerbock, Germany's foreign minister, is willing to meet with most parties involved.
You're viewing a single thread.
So, who would be an honest broker then? One that has the leverage and international standing to actually mediate between countries? No country in Arabia for sure, leaving European countries, the USA, China, India, Russia, South-Korea, Japan and Australia.
Some of these countries aren't at all interested in foreign disputes, some have their own agenda (looking at you Russia and China)
From the news I have been reading the few last year's (not on the Gaza conflict, but on the war in Ukraine) Brazil seemed to be interestedinto being a broker. Maybe here as well?
So, how good do you think Brazilian Isrealian relations are? Remember, whatever deal you make between countries, no one can force you to uphold them (best example Russia with their Minsk 1 and 2 treaties)
What would chinas agenda be? They're the ones with the best track record sofar in condemning the genocide and cracking down on Muslim rightwing extremism.
Not sure islamist djihadism has any political affiliation.
Anyway, China never does anything without an agenda. Remember the "help" in SEA and Africa? Yeah, they gave money, sure, to exploit the countries, legally that is.
Do you have any records on the harm China did to those countries so far?
China is also committing their own genocide against minorities, one of them the Uyghurs with concentration camps, forced sterilization and forbidding people to practice their religion.
As a Palestinian I can tell you that we’re not interested in exchanging Israeli occupation for Iranian, Russian or Chinese occupation.
Unfortunately I don’t know who’d be a real and credible ally. I feel strong support from many Latin American countries, the Irish, Scottish, South Africans. But do they have enough influence to broker something? I don’t think so
The Uyghur genocide is a fabrication by anticommunist thinktanks from the US. Most notably it depends on the works of a single man, Adrian Zenz. There was no forced sterilization, people are free to practice their religion as long as it doesn't call for political revolution.
