Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Op-Ed: Democracy in the Palestinian Territories, but at what cost?

In an op-ed for the Times of Israel, ELNET-Israel CEO Shai Bazak argues that the EU & European governments need to make clear that they will not be able to conduct normal business with a Palestinian government in which Hamas shares power, so long as its officials do not unequivocally renounce violence and recognise Israel.

Policy Statement: Palestinian Parliamentary Elections

Ahead of elections to the Palestinian Legislative Council scheduled for 22 May, ELNET calls on the EU and European governments to clarify their position on incorporating Hamas into a future Palestinian power-sharing arrangement.

Statement on the International Criminal Court (ICC) decision

ELNET strongly believes that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is political in nature and it should be addressed predominantly with political rather than legal tools which force the parties to adopt rigid positions, making it more difficult to advance towards resolution of the conflict.
