European Union leaders are facing growing criticism for their approach to the Palestinian issue, which some commentators claim is influenced by deeper, less visible factors. Walter Bingham argues that the push for a Palestinian State is shaped by the emergence of powerful Muslim communities in Europe, a result of recent migration trends. These communities are said to exert significant influence on social and political matters, leading to policy decisions that may not align with practical realities. Bingham suggests that this dynamic has shifted the political landscape, making the European Union's stance on the Palestinian State increasingly disconnected from geopolitical pragmatism.
