Following diplomatic and political efforts by Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Union softened the language of its resolution. However, the EU continues to apply a double standard in relation to Israel, ignoring the Palestinian Authority’s responsibility for the diplomatic stalemate and the incitement feeding the current wave of Palestinian terrorism. Out of 200 border conflicts in the world today, the EU has chosen to discriminate against Israel. This approach prevents the EU from being an honest broker in the conflict.
