Inside the EU's 'unhealthy obsession' with Israel
Behind the scenes, the EU is Israel's largest trade partner, 32% of its merchandise trade, and the single biggest funder of Israeli science.
In public, 46% of EU institutional statements about Israel since October 7 are negative.
In this episode of The Deep Dive, host Jacob Laznik previews findings from a JPPI study with Prof. Sharon Pardo, Jean Monnet Chair of European Studies at Ben-Gurion University.
After analyzing 24,000 EU statements, Pardo's team found a sharp gap: harsh public criticism of Israel from EU institutions, paired with continued quiet cooperation from EU member states. By comparison, statements about Qatar, even through the 2022 "Qatargate" bribery scandal, ran 66% positive.
Pardo argues European Jewish communities are paying the price for what he calls Israel's "megaphone diplomacy" with the EU, and that Israel has spent three years deserting the relationship it can least afford to lose.
