The Webinar “Israel’s annexation plan: how should Europe react?” was organised by the IAI, in cooperation with EIiamep, July 2020. The event was moderated by Prof. Nathalie Tocci, Director, Istituto Affari Internazionali.
Details:
Israel’s new coalition government has outlined its intention to unilaterally annex large parts of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, beginning with Israel’s settlement blocs and much of the Jordan Valley in the West Bank. Coming on the heels of the issuing of the US’s so-called ‘deal of the century’, this move is also backed by the White House and will have far reaching implications on Israelis and Palestinians as well the broader region and the international rules based order. EU institutions and member states have repeatedly warned Israel of repercussions from such a move, but such messaging appears to have had marginal impact on the Israeli government’s calculus.
The Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) and the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) co-hosted a web seminar examining Israel’s annexation plan and its implications on the conflict and EU policy. High-level speakers from Israel, Palestine and Europe discussed the motivations and impact of such a move and assess possible policy reactions from Europe.

About the Webinar:
How will the Trump plan for solving the Israeli – Palestinian conflict and the recent normalization between UAE and Bahrain and Israel impact the future situation for the Palestinians?
“The vision to improve the lives of the Israeli and Palestinian people out in the new US plan Peace to Prosperity published January this year is untenable. A vision developed without the participation of the Palestinian and with an American reframing of basic principle for a peaceful solution set out by the international society. While no one can deny that the UN resolutions have produced no progress on the ground, the new US approach nonetheless represents a dramatic, unilateral change of the framework without negotiation with other parties than Israel. This unilateral approach has met severe criticism from both the Palestinians, Middle Eastern states, EU and the UN. Since the breakdown of The Road Map to Peace no real negotiations have taken place. The informal Israeli annexation of the West Bank by way of settlements has continued increasing Israeli sovereignty of Palestinian territory, in 2018 the US moved its embassy to Jerusalem and latest the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have normalized diplomatic relations with Israel. What does all that mean for a peaceful solution? A Policy Brief written by Palestinian political scientist and diplomat Yuad Jaradat and DIIS researcher Lars Erslev Andersen maintains that a sovereign Palestinian state remains the only sustainable solution – but will that ever happen?” (Source DIIS)
