missions abroad meanwhile the german parliament was deciding on the future of the five largest and most dangerous german army operations german troops are involved in missions in mali in the mediterranean syria iraq and afghanistan the continuation of all five operations was approved with a large majority that was and we want our soldiers to have legal certainty in their respective dangerous region we also want our partners and allies to know that germany is reliable and committed to its responsibilities with germany still struggling to form a government the mandate was only extended by three months to allow a new coalition room for maneuver one reason for the far left party the link it to vote against the foreign army operations. what will happen if we still don't have a government in three months time extend the mission is for a further three months that would be absurd and it's not fair to the soldiers we're sending on these missions. and that chicken the far right if he supports only the mediterranean sea operations which focus on preventing people trafficking and

witnessed a horrible and uncomfortable scene demonstrators chanted israel kills children and burned israeli flags we must not tolerate this. the controversial protests include the burning of israeli flanks german law bans the destruction of flags serving as official symbols like in front of embassies and government buildings but there's no ban for example on protesters burning flags they bring with them germany's central council of jews is demanding tougher laws against demonstrations but some lawmakers are skeptical. because it's i don't think louis can solve conflicts what's unfolding here on the street is in fact a very real conflict israel's actions on the ground as well as its settlements policy exacerbate this conflict. these are one off events but at the moment it doesn't look like that's the case and
