Europe and the Israel-Hamas War
In the wake of Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack, and the subsequent Israeli military
campaign in the Gaza Strip, many European governments faced the challenge of
navigating complex geopolitical dynamics, addressing domestic pressures, and
supporting a long-term sustainable resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This
online event aims to delve into the multifaceted European response to the crisis,
examining diplomatic efforts, humanitarian initiatives, and the role of regional stability in
shaping policy decisions across the continent. The event will also address the Israeli
perspective on Europe’s approach to this ongoing crisis.
