EUROPEAN UNION-ISRAEL RELATIONS: A DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH OF THE STATUS-QUO AS PART OF THE TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONS

Summary/Abstract: Although the last legislative elections in Israel indicate a strong desire for political change, the Israeli voter is still very much aware of the position of Israel on the current international scene. The Peace Plan for Israel and Palestine proposed by the Trump administration, on the one hand, alienated even more the Palestinian Authority, and on the other hand, ignored European Union’s willingness to become a more relevant global actor by not involving it in the development of the Plan. Regardless the results of the future presidential elections in the United States, it is important to understand up to which extent should the European Union get involved in order to prevent potential negative outcomes of the Peace Plan. Starting from this context, the research aims at outlining the current dynamics and narratives governing the relations between the European Union, as a global actor, and Israel, as a regional actor in the Middle East, including here the global implications of the events in this region.
