4 The EU - in its early version as a common market - came about as an attempt to bring a halt to hostilities among European countries, especially France and Germany. How relevant is this experience for the current situation in the Middle- East today, and what role could the EU and Germany as its member state play in facilitating similar developments? It is true that the driving force behind European integration from its very beginning was a clear desire of the then European leaders to overcome old differences and assure a peaceful development of Europe for future generations of the European continent. This idea of peace is still very much relevant today. It represents a condition sine qua non for the successful development and future of all the peoples of the Middle Eastern region. A comprehensive and peaceful solution to the Israeli-Arab conflict in general and Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular, is a strategic priority for the European Foreign Policy in general and the German Foreign Policy in specific.

13 LOCAL INFORMATION Haifa: Haifa is Israel's foremost port city for international commerce and the center of Israeli high tech industries. Two of the most distinguishing features of this dynamic city are its physical beauty and its cosmopolitan population of 265,000 Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druze, and Baha is living in harmony and cultural activity. Numerous cinemas, restaurants, cafes, and clubs provide entertainment until the early hours of the morning. Through its beaches and the Carmel National Forest Haifa provides a wonderful environment for almost any kind of recreation. University of Haifa: The campus of the University of Haifa spreads along a Carmel Mountain ridge southeast of the city of Haifa and is surrounded by the Carmel National Park. The University was established in 1963 under the joint auspices of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Haifa Municipality. In 1972, it gained academic accreditation as a separate institution from the Council for Higher Education. The University of Haifa is the most pluralistic institution of higher education in Israel: sons and daughters of both veteran cities and development towns, kibbutzim and moshavim, new immigrants, Jews, Arabs, Druzes, IDF officers and security personnel all sitting together on the bench of knowledge in an atmosphere of coexistence, tolerance, and mutual respect. Some 17,000 students studied toward a degree (B.A., M.A., or Ph.D.) in 2008/09. The University offers six Faculties: Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences and Science Education, Law, Social Welfare and Health Studies and Education; In addition to that the university also offers five schools: Business Administration, Social Work, History, Public Health and Political Sciences.
