  • The Role of the EU in the Israel\Palestine Conflict
    Working Papers Series in EU Border Conflicts Studies The Role of the EU in the Israel\Palestine Conflict DRAFT David Newman and Haim Yacobi Department of Politics and Government Ben Gurion University, Beer Sheva, Israel No. 12 2004 A. Introduction The aim of this working paper is to analyse whether, and under what conditions, the EU’s involvement in the Israel / Palestine (IP) arena has had any direct impact on the process of conflict resolution. The paper examines the different pathways, namely compulsory impact, enabling impact, connective impact and constructive impact that the EU have applied in relation to the Israel\Palestine conflict (Diez, Stetter & Albert, 2003). The analysis is based on a study of Israeli, Palestinian and European interviews, media coverage and documents. Additionally, we will point to the impact of these pathways and their effect on the development of the conflict, changes in conflict intensity over time, and the wider regional conditions within which change is taking place. Based on Working Paper 1 (Newman and Yacobi, 2004) we will present the development of EU role and patterns of intervention, coupled with an analysis of the costs and benefits of this intervention, especially as they are perceived by the actors themselves in terms of the potential role of the EU as a third party who can play the role of 'honest broker' in the conflict resolution process. In this context we argue that Europe’s role in general, and that of the EU in particular, is of major significance. However, despite the long historical relationship between Europe and Israel/Palestine, and despite the substantial economic involvement in both Israel (in terms of trade and cultural relations) and the Palestinian Authority (in terms of major financial assistance and aid packages) both actors perceive the EU's role as limited in the process of conflict resolution.

Our names are Elise Backman, Lina Saud, and Naomi Lee. We will be your chairs for the PMUNC 2014 Joint Crisis Committee (JCC): Negotiations in the Middle East, Israel-Fatah-Hamas. This three-way joint committee is one of the most ambitious projects that PMUNC has undertaken, and we are thrilled that you have chosen to embark on this important journey with us. Never before has PMUNC attempted a three-way JCC. We feel that this structure will provide delegates with an unprecedented opportunity to represent the three most important stakeholders in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and interact with one another in real-time. This will not only enhance each delegate’s conference experience, but also more closely simulate the complex interrelated (and independent) realities on the ground. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is arguably the most transcendent geopolitical issue that challenges leaders across the globe today. We believe that the mission of Model UN is to allow students the opportunity to engage with the world’s most difficult problems.

    Middle East Notes Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns June 2019 Please note: Opinions expressed in the following articles do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns. Read previous issues of Middle East Notes The four featured articles in this issue of the Middle East focus on the new election for prime minister in Israel, the discrimination by Israel of Palestinian journalists by limiting their movement, new videos showing violence by Israeli settlers that has been blamed on Palestinians, and the announcement by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) that no Palestinians will participate in a U.S.-led conference in Bahrain that the Trump administration has cast as an overture to its own plan for peace between Palestinians and Israelis. Finally, the link is provided for the latest new bulletin from Churches for Middle East Peace. • Joseph Hinks reports in Time Magazine that a new election for prime minister will be held in Israel in September, after Netanyahu failed to form a coalition government by the 42-day deadline following his win in the April 9 election • Abier Almasri reports for Human Rights Watch that Israel hosted the international song contest Eurovision in Tel Aviv, under the slogan of “Dare to Dream.” Many across Europe came to Israel for the festivities but, even though the writer lives less than an hour’s drive away in the Gaza Strip, she was not allowed to make the trip. • The human rights organization B’Tselem posted videos showing settlers setting fire to fields near several villages, in some cases when soldiers watch without action, while the army also accused the Palestinians of lighting fires in the area.
