Helping end the war in Gaza: What does the EU get?

 

The European Neighbourhood Council (ENC) has released its new analysis titled “Helping End the War in Gaza: What Does the EU Get?”

The article is authored by Ebtisam Hussein, ENC Academic Council member and Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of London branch of the European Universities in Egypt.

The paper examines the European Union’s efforts to help end the war in Gaza following the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023 and the subsequent Israeli military offensive that triggered a severe humanitarian crisis. It argues that while the EU publicly emphasizes humanitarian concerns and provides significant financial and humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza, its engagement is also driven by strategic interests.
