I understand why you purpose an international peacekeeping force instead of Hamas to own Gaza security. However, which country would participate in such a peacekeeping force knowing that these peacekeeping troops would almost certainly be fired upon, even bombed, by the IDF, which would claim this being collateral damage?

I understand why you purpose an international peacekeeping force instead of Hamas to own Gaza security. However, which country would participate in such a peacekeeping force knowing that these peacekeeping troops would almost certainly be fired upon, even bombed, by the IDF, which would claim this being collateral damage? Only Palestinians themselves, and perhaps the Houthis, are brave enough to stand up to Israel. Let's face the facts.
It would have to be done with the backing of a group of countries (such as the Arab states, a few European, and a couple of others such as South Africa) and be combined with the threat of sanctions, boycotts, possible suspension from UN membership. and certainly Israel being told that the settlements or at least settlers were going to be removed as well, and this Palestijnians given a contiguous area of land in the West Bank etc whether the Israelis like it or not; and that they can either negotiate in good faith and abide by international agreements or instead just live with what is decided for them by others. When the Israelis are told that they have to live with what is forced on them, like they have been doing to the Palestinians for decades, then we will start to see some sanity in the Middle East The US did it to Iraq and Afghanistan, there is no reason that other countries couldn't do it to Israel in order to ensure that they will finally have to abide by international law and a just and moral solution.

You described very well why this is never going to happen. :(
