Analysis of the EU's Role in Palestine-Israel Peace Process
Actively participating in the Palestine-Israel peace talks and the crisis management of conflictsbetween the two sides, the European Union also provides economic and financial support as the principal means to construct regional cooperation mechanism. The EU's efforts are to reduce tensions in the Palestine-Israel relation, provide multi-level dialogue platform for both sides, and play a positive role to resolve their conflicts. However, the EU's influence is restricted because of all the complication of the situation, the EU member states' lack of a political will for combined actions, as well as the US control over the Palestine-Israel peace process. The situational changes in the Middle East urges the European Union to work together with China and Russia as international powers to balance out the US-Israel combination, work out a new Palestine-Israel peace plan, and play a unique role in the promotion of the Palestine-Israel peace process.
