Europe And The Middle East: Will EU Be
A More Just Mediator?
Posted By Ramzy BaroudOctober 20, 2008
Europe has showed greater willingness in
recent months to play a larger part in the
Middle East's most protracted conflict, that
of Israel and Palestine. But willingness
doesn't necessarily indicate readiness.
For the European Union (EU) to be truly
ready to take on a conflict of such magnitude,
it must fully and clearly abandon its old ways
of almost complete subservience to US-tilted
and pro-Israel stances, and of refusing to
treat Palestinians as equally deserving of the
same rights and security gladly assigned to
Israel.
In other words, Europe would have to
function as a truly independent political
body, and renounce the damaging policy of
treating Israel with utter sensitivity, and
perceiving Palestinians, at best, as a people
undergoing economic hardship.
True, Palestinian projects funded by the EU
are many and far reaching, but while Europe
has demonstrated a degree of generosity
towards Palestine, it has never had a fraction
of the leading role that the US gives itself
in the region. This is partly because while
Israel mostly welcomes American involvement,
it has long shunned a significant European
role under various guises and logic, claiming
Europe is soft on terror and that the
continent is rampant with anti-Semitism.
Israel is, of course, referring to the fact
that Europe has been much more receptive to
the idea of dialogue with Palestinians, even
with groups which are dubbed "terrorist".
Public opinion polls in much of Europe have
long reflected much greater sympathy for
Palestinians, and regarded Israel as a danger
to world peace. From Israel's point of view,
that qualifies as anti-Semitism.
Thus, the nature and extent of any European
role has always been delineated by the US and
Israel. If the EU, or one of its countries
dared to defy its appointed role, Israel would
immediately cry foul and the organization
would simply back off. Even when Israel bombed
several projects that were fully or largely
funded by the EU in Gaza and the West Bank,
including Gaza's electric generator, the EU
failed to act in any consequential fashion,
aside from a measly and ineffective statement.
While Gaza is punished by Israel and others
for electing Hamas, and as the EU watches the
unfolding human drama, it continues to be
Israel's largest trading partner.
But is Europe ready to step up to the
challenge of taking over as America's
influence is likely to wane in the coming
months and years? And why is there growing
media focus - especially in Israel - on the
rising EU role and involvement in the Middle
East?
There are many signs that reflect a clear
shift in the EU's level of involvement in the
Middle East. Starting in March, several
European heads of state traveled to Israel in
highly touted and "historic" trips, including
a visit by German Chancellor Angela Merkel,
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British
Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
These appearances were followed up by
equally important visits by European
dignitaries, last of whom was French Foreign
Minister Bernard Kouchner in early-October.
The number of official statements made by the
EU, and the nature of these statements are all
promising a different kind of European
involvement. Yet again, so what?
Some of the officials used their visits as
an opportunity to chide Palestine on violence,
terrorism and so forth. Some failed to utter a
word of disapproval over Israel, as if a
country that maintains a decades-long, and
oppressive occupation, as well as a long
record of violating international law, can do
nothing wrong.
That said, there is no denying that Europe
has been more, if not much more sensible in
its treatment of Palestine, and not just
because of its many vital development projects
in the occupied territories. Europe unlike the
US, doesn't always view its relationship to
Palestine as an arrogant power with a list of
uncompromising demands which have to be
fulfilled or else.
The US's fundamentally erroneous approach
to the Middle East in general, and Palestine
in particular, has created untold animosity
towards Washington, and generated a lack of
trust that will eventually undermine its
position in the entire region - a process
currently underway.
Europe on the other hand, still has a
chance, and a good one. True, Sarkozy sang the
Israeli tune like the "true friend of Israel"
that he is during his visit, but he also dared
to criticize Israel's settlement policies,
even before the Knesset. The EU has followed
the US-Israel lead of isolating, and
eventually destroying the fresh Palestinian
democratic experience, but some European
countries seemed willing to engage Hamas, and
invite some of their top officials for
"unofficial" dialogue.
Various news outlets reported in April that
Switzerland had invited then prime minister of
the newly formed unity government, Ismail
Haniyeh, for his first official European state
visit. Norway and other European countries
seemed willing to explore various channels of
dialogue with Palestine.
Although very careful with his wording,
French Foreign Minister, Bernard Kouchner,
said in a Jerusalem news conference on October
5, 2008: "Officially, we have no contact with
Hamas, but unofficially, international
organizations working in the Gaza Strip - in
particular, French NGOs [non-governmental
organizations] - provide us information." His
statement was understood as an indication of
French willingness to indirectly talk to Hamas,
the isolation of which has spelled disaster
for the Palestinian communities of Gaza.
It's no secret that the EU is positioning
itself to play a greater role, but little is
known of what that means. Is that new role
orchestrated jointly with the US and Israel,
or is it taking place in spite of both
governments? The answer would certainly help
determine the future direction and degree of
the EU's involvement.
If the EU is there to supplement the US's
expected absence due to economic crisis at
home and endless wars abroad, then little
change is expected. If, however, Europe has
decided to tackle the conflict as an
independent power, separate from the
discredited US, then it's an entirely
different story.
