Abstract

The EU adopted “balanced” position towards Arab-Israeli conflict since 1980s. However, starting from the 2000s, the EU left its neutral position and addressed Palestinian conflict within the context of security. This paper aims to explore the reasons behind changing policies of the European Union towards Israeli-Palestinian dispute since 2000s by making reference to the shifts in international and regional settings, particularly after Arab uprising and Russia-Ukraine war. Firstly, the EU/EC's approach to Palestine-Israeli conflict over time is explored. Secondly, how the regional and international setting, which is based on multi-polarity and regional conflicts, altered the EU’s policies will be discussed at theoretical level. Lastly, institutional constraints that prevent the EU to carry out normative policy will be explored.
