Abstract
The breakdown of Israeli–Palestinian peace negotiations following the Camp David meeting in the summer of 2000 highlighted the fundamental divisions that exist between Israel and the European Union on matters relating to Palestinian rights and Israeli responsibility for the ongoing conflict. This article argues that Europe's staunch defence of the Palestinian side at this time has its roots in more than two decades of Euro-PLO relations. As such it examines the nature of European support for the PLO prior to the signing of the Oslo accords in the early 1990s and, in particular, it evaluates the impact that Europe's consistent policy of supporting a political role for the PLO in negotiations has had on its political and economic relationship with the Jewish state.
