BRUSSELS — The European Union will press U.S. President Donald Trump to ensure that his ceasefire agreement does not undermine the future of a Palestinian state, according to a draft plan.

A four-page document developed by the bloc’s foreign service, seen by POLITICO in advance of meetings between foreign ministers and leaders next week, reveals officials are pushing to maximize the EU’s leverage in the implementation of the Washington-brokered agreement to ensure lasting peace.

With a growing number of European governments recognizing Palestinian statehood, there is a need to “reinforce a positive narrative on the two-state solution, including by highlighting the role of the EU,” the document states.

The diplomatic arm of the EU, the European External Action Service (EEAS), proposes to “further activate diplomatic channels towards the U.S.” to see it implemented in a way that does not “undermine the viability” of the Palestinian Authority.

Trump announced a truce brokered between Hamas and the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week, paving the way for the release of all surviving Israeli hostages and a withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.

The EEAS is now seeking support from capitals to advocate for economic and financial barriers facing Palestinian institutions to be dropped and to increase pressure on Israeli settlers illegally annexing territory in the West Bank. It also proposes engaging with the Israeli government, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey “to continue leveraging the pressure on Hamas for a full implementation of the plan.”

By the end of the year, the document proposes ensuring the flow “of aid at scale into and throughout Gaza,” and redeploying its civilian Rafah border crossing assistance mission, EUBAM, as a third-party presence to safeguard the passage of people. If member countries give the green light, the EU will also seek to “explore the monitoring and advising on transfer of goods.”

Brussels also hopes to convince Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian NGOs operating in the Palestinian territories.

In the longer term, the EU wants to play a role in the removal of landmines, the reconstruction of war-torn Gaza, investment and the facilitation of trade. It intends to use Erasmus — the educational exchange scheme it had previously sought to bar Israel from — as a tool to build trust between communities.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced in September that she would bring forward sanctions on Israeli ministers and seek to scale back economic cooperation with the country in response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

However, POLITICO reported earlier on Friday, the plans are expected to grind to a halt in the wake of the American deal, with capitals expressing skepticism about the need for the move as a result of geopolitical developments.

A handful of countries that had pushed for a tougher stance expressed frustration over how long the EU had taken to put forward the plans.
