The Arab League (LAS)-European Union (EU)'s relationship is trapped in a cycle of engagement followed by distrust and failure, due to regional dynamics and a lack of resolve. Although the potential for a broad-based partnership exists, the EU's inability to act at pivotal moments, including the pressing situation in Gaza, continues to hinder meaningful collaboration between the two organisations. The LAS-EU partnership, reinforced by shared concerns over regional crises, has been further tested by the deepening Israel-Palestine conflict, emphasising the need for a united front on humanitarian issues and peace processes.
