‘Self-imposed irrelevance’: why the EU is failing to act on growing public criticism of Israel

The European Union is failing to take action against Israel's actions against Palestinians, despite growing public criticism. This inaction is due to the bloc's inability to overcome its internal divisions, which have hindered effective decision-making. The EU's failure to act on this issue is significant because it undermines its credibility as a champion of human rights and international law. This lack of action may also embolden Israel to continue its policies, further exacerbating tensions in the region.

Why it matters
