Eldad Beck: Europe is clinging to the Palestinians – If only the Europeans would drop their anti-Israel obsession, they might see the great benefits that can result from the Israel-UAE peace deal. | israelhayom.com

When Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi holds his first meeting with his European Union counterparts in Berlin this Thursday, he will get an unfiltered picture of the Europeans‘ position about the nascent peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
Most of the official responses to this dramatic development – both from the EU and from individual European nations – were lukewarm at best, and lacked any genuine enthusiasm befitting a historic moment. So the declarations that the EU has always worked to promote ties between Israel and Arab countries, and sees this peace deal as a contribution to the stability of the Middle East, sound untrustworthy and can barely hide the disappointment in the EU corridors of power at peace between Israel and the UAE.
