Current Event: Europes Rule in the Middle East

Obviously there is a lot going on in the Middle East. The United States is in Iraq, Israel and Lebanon just finished duking it out and Iran is becoming a major threat. Yet, according to the Al-Abram Weekly Europe did little to help the situation in the Middle East. According to the article Europe has helped Israel to achieve what it could not do by war. It has liquidated Huzbula, which I think means they they have settled some deal with Israel that gives them what they want. Although I am not exactly sure what that is. Europe has also helped Lebanon by sending troops and I think money. However the article conveys that this is not enough to help the problem. What the AL-Abram Weekly says what Europe needs to do is to confront the US and Israel. Unfortunately I only have a vague idea of what is happening between Israel and Lebanon, and I am not up to date about what is going on with the US and the Middle East.
