ისრაელის უნდობლობა ევროკავშირის მიმართ ისრაელ-პალესტინის კონფლიქტისმოგვარების პროცესში

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be considered as one of the most important and long-term
challenges of modern system of international relations. It continues to be “alive” and involves
more and more states in its conflict resolution process. The reason why I chose this conflict is
the interest of why Israel has mistrust for EU policies in the process of resolving conflict and
crisis and generally whether EU is an efficient mediator in solving this one of the most longterm
conflict.

countries
and

what

interests do they have in the solution of this conflict? Despite the fact that many
international relations specialists have worked on the ways of conflict resolution and many
research papers have been published, this work will be a little different in terms of involvement
of mediators in this process. The aim of this paper is to find out why Israel lost trust for the EU
and what effect does the EU's involvement in the settlement of the conflict have and also, did
EU’s aid to Palestine have the contradictory outcome for the peace process. This paper also deals
with what instruments the European Union uses for conflict resolution and with its attitude
towards borders, Jerusalem, general security, Palestinian refugees and Jewish settlements. We
will also examine how the EU's three most important, Declarations of Venice (1980), Berlin
(1999) and Seville (2002) were in conflict and how consistent was EU involvement in these
processes as one of the mediators.
