الملخص EN

The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership started after the Barcelona Declaration between the Europeans and the Mediterranean Neighboring States, including Israel and the Palestinians, and this extended partnership to include all foremost issues, including the security and political partnership.

This study deals with the political role of the European Union in the process of settling the Palestinian issue within the era of 2006 and 2016, This Union is an emerging international force in the region and is capable of playing an independent role in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The study also sheds light on the determinants of the European Union's foreign policy towards the Palestinian issue during the period mentioned above and its relevance to its American and Israeli counterparts and the European interests particularly in Palestine.

Further, the study tackles the effectiveness of the European Union in playing an influential role in the region and its contributions in the peace process, primarily in saving financial aid, which was used to pressure the Palestinians with promises to establish a Palestinian state as an important pillar of stability required for strategic security in the Middle East from the viewpoint of the Europeans.

This paper also highlights the European attitudes towards a number of principal Palestinian issues within the fore mentioned era.

The topic focusses on the features of the European role in introducing or supporting initiatives for solving the Palestinian issue within the era between 2006 t0 2016, This attitude is based on the assumption that negotiations represent the way to establish such a State in accordance with the principle of "land for peace"; along with the relevant United Nations resolutions as a legal framework for any negotiations between the Palestinian and Israeli sides.
