For many years, international actors have viewed a two-state solution based on democratic rights for both peoples in their respective nation-state as the silver-bullet that can solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This, however, stands in stark contrast to the ever-growing asymmetry in Israeli-Palestinian relations with creeping de facto annexation of large parts of the West Bank, Gaza under siege and a growing Israeli disinterest in negotiations where expansionist Israeli ideals tend to override democratic ones.
The over-arching aim of this article is to understand how the EU relates to this paradox and what possible solutions, if any, its representatives envisions for resolving it.
