Revision as of 17:52, 11 December 2023

The European Leadership Network (ELNET) is an independent, non-partisan, pan-European network of nearly 300 past, present and future European leaders working to provide practical real-world solutions to political and security challenges.

The ELNET lobby group believes that a strong Europe-Israel relationship can be achieved through a nuanced, balanced and multidimensional approach.

With a network of professional affiliate offices in France, Germany, the UK, Belgium (European Union & NATO), Italy, Central and Eastern Europe, and Israel, ELNET works to provide deeper insights into the complexities of global and regional issues, foster key ties between European and Israeli leaders, and empower friends of Israel across Europe.^[1]

Vision

In a rapidly changing global environment, Israel needs as many allies as possible. Europe is also faced with new unprecedented challenges, and seeks innovative solutions to overcome them. Europe plays a major role on the global stage, with the European Union being one of the three largest economies in the world, and two European countries – France and the UK – holding a permanent seat and veto power at the UN Security Council and having nuclear capabilities with global military reach. While 80% of the US Congress has visited Israel, only 10% of European counterparts have done so. ELNET was created to turn this challenge into an opportunity.

ELNET believes Israel and Europe share deep values, mutual interests and strategic challenges. Closer economic and political relations benefit both sides and is important to the future of the Middle East. As such, ELNET works to pursue long-term strategic partnerships between European countries and Israel.

First E3-Israel Strategic Dialogue

On 5 November 2023, the European Leadership Network and ELNET’s Forum of Strategic Dialogue (FSD) brought together senior policymakers and experts from across the UK, Germany, France, NATO, and Israel. The dialogue addressed: 'Hamas’s war on Israel and its regional implications’; ‘The Iranian threat’; and ‘Deepening cooperation between Israel, the E3 and NATO to face multiple threats, including Russia’. The discussions were organised by ELNET-UK and conducted strictly under the Chatham House Rule.^[2]
