Settler violence, illegal activities towards Palestinians and the killing of innocent Palestinians are identified by Clare Daly, member of the European Parliament, as the root causes of the conflict. However, the recently passed EU resolution fails to address these causes and is seen as an imbalanced approach. Daly strongly condemns remaining silent about these actions, deeming it reprehensible. She suggests that the EU's backing of Israel stems from their consistent support for the United States, resulting in a loss of independence.
