Brussels \u2013 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government do not want a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and are sabotaging, more than ever, any attempt at coexistence with the Palestinians. The EU\u2019s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas<\/strong>, has finally condemned the Jewish state and its leadership: \u201cEveryone agrees that the situation in the West Bank is truly intolerable,<\/strong>\u201d she stated upon her arrival in Brussels for the Foreign Affairs Council<\/a> meeting. She explains the reason for this \u201cintolerable\u201d situation herself: \u201cWe all support the two-state solution. What is happening in the West Bank is, in fact, making it increasingly impossible for this two-state solution ever to be implemented.<\/strong>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

The High Representative\u2019s statements represent a clear recognition of Netanyahu\u2019s actions and a not-too-veiled accusation of the annexation of Palestinian territories \u2013 to which the EU has so far been unable to respond, and in the face of which any response now risks being too late. This is because Israel is advancing and taking control of territory that is, at this stage, becoming increasingly difficult to reclaim, especially if this government\u2019s true intentions are opposed to any two-state solution. <\/p>\n

The EU takes note, but Kallas, despite everything, leaves the matter to Member States. This is partly because the European Commission does not have full powers in foreign policy, and partly \u2013 precisely for this reason \u2013 because it lacks courage and leadership. The High Representative does not set out any line of action, nor does she even attempt to do so, and when asked what the preferable course of action might be in response to this Israeli government\u2019s advance into the West Bank, she replies that \u201cit doesn\u2019t matter what my preferred option is<\/strong>, because I try to bring the 27 Member States together where there is common ground.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it is acknowledged that, amid the inaction of the twelve-star bloc, the two-state peace process is dying, while another aspect of the issue is being glossed over: namely, what to do with the Palestinian refugees in the event of the full annexation of the West Bank. Today\u2019s EU does not want asylum seekers<\/a>, as shown by the whole new dialogue channel that has been opened with the Taliban regime to take back Afghan nationals<\/a> operating on EU soil. The European Union, having already turned its back on the Palestinians, risks turning away even further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
