This agreement did not remove the issue completely off the agenda. 30 Israel, the EU and the al-Aqsa Intifada The outbreak of the second intifada and Israel’s response led to a new souring of Israeli-European relations. European leaders and civil society castigated Israel for its harsh measures in response to the Palestinian uprising.

The wave of terrorists’ attacks within Israel in early 1996 had led to the election in May 1996 of a center-right-wing government led by Binyamin Netanyahu and to the demise of the peace process. The decision of the new Israeli government to open the Hasmonean Tunnel in the Old City of Jerusalem in September 1996 had led to widespread rioting in the West Bank, resulting in the deaths of 64 Palestinians and 15 Israeli soldiers.
