It has been involved in initiatives to bring both parties to the negotiating table and has supported international peace frameworks. The EU consistently endorses the two-state solution as a means to achieve a lasting resolution to the conflict.
The EU is a major donor of humanitarian and development aid to the Palestinian territories, funding projects related to infrastructure, healthcare, education, and economic development. These contributions aim to alleviate suffering among Palestinians and enhance their living conditions.
Moreover, the EU provides political and financial support to various peace initiatives and dialogue processes, encouraging both Israeli and Palestinian leaders to engage in negotiations and create conditions conducive to a peaceful settlement.
The EU has occasionally expressed concerns and criticisms of Israeli policies, particularly regarding settlement construction in the West Bank, which it views as an obstacle to peace. It has called for the cessation of settlement expansion and a freeze on demolitions.
Emphasizing the importance of human rights and the rule of law, the EU has supported efforts to uphold international law and respect for human rights, including those of Palestinians.
Additionally, the EU participates in multilateral frameworks, such as the Quartet on the Middle East, alongside the United States, United Nations, and Russia, aiming to promote peace negotiations and address key issues in the conflict.
