    It doesn’t look like they did call Israel European. They just mentioned European allies.

          Countries in Europe which support Israel are going to help rebuild the PA and the US will have some influence over how? That seems unlikely to me, but you could be right

        Perhaps France, the original defense partner of Israel? Or Germany, who supplies all of Israel’s navy?

          France or Germany will work with Palestinians to create a more effective Palestinian Authority? I don’t really see that, but maybe.

          If I were Palestinian, I would not want to work with more European colonial powers to help pacify the region, especially Germany, which is understandably going to always have complicated feelings of guilt and responsibility towards Israel

            Clearly, European powers and the US are going to work the Israel half of the problem and Saudi Arabia and Turkey can work the Palestinian half of their problem. With enough participation in the process, perhaps Iran will even shut up long enough for it to work.

              That… never occurred to me, because it’s imo such a bad idea, but I think you’re absolutely right, that that’s what the author meant. Thank you
