Israel lobby group of nearly 300 past, present and future European leaders. Works to foster key ties between European and Israeli leaders, and empower friends of Israel across Europe.

The European Leadership Network (ELNET) is an Israel lobby group of nearly 300 past, present and future European leaders which according to itself is working to "foster close relations between Europe and Israel"[1]

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 foster key ties between European and Israeli leaders, and empower friends of Israel across Europe.[2] The selected political, military, diplomatic, civil society and business leaders from across wider Europe are chosen from all parties ("non-partisan" and "impartially"[1]). ELNET also brings "high-level delegations to Israel to experience the realities on the ground"[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, the ELNET lobby group works to pursue long-term strategic partnerships between European countries and Israel.

Written Statement to the ICJ

On 4 October 2023, ELNET-UK and UK Lawyers for Israel, submitted evidence to the International Court of Justice as it considered a referral against Israel by the UN General Assembly.

“This case will cause great damage to the reputation of the International Court. The evidence provided to the Court fails a basic smell test and reeks of anti-Israel bias. We are proud to stand up for the world’s only Jewish State and its right to fair and proper treatment by the international community”. Joan Ryan, CEO of ELNET-UK
“The Court has been asked to provide an advisory opinion on the basis of a long series of mendacious UN reports, resolutions and other documents. The process is vitiated from the outset with a prevailing and incorrect assumption of guilt. We cannot allow this to go unchallenged”. Jonathan Turner, CEO of UK Lawyers for Israel[3]

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.[4]
