LOL, the Europeans are almost always in denial about their true place in the world.
This is not a "diplomatic quartet". The USA leads, and the others follow and back us up. If it makes them feel better to feel comraderie with Russia and the UN, so be it, but I wish they'd stop fooling themselves. They continue to finance Arafat's terrorism, and they continue to allow their financed refugee camps to be slums of terror despite decades of oversight.
The EU in particular is incapable of effective world leadership. They simply do not have what it takes to see things through to their proper ending. They make a show of doing something, but that's all it is. They send money to this or that cause because it makes them feel good, but don't see that the money does any good, and will deny if that money does any bad. And when pressed, they almost always back down.
Just for the record, we also send tens of millions to the PA annually.....
