This article deals with the question of whether the western world, for example, the European Union, is able to efficiently link the allocation of financial aid with the alteration of the recipient's foreign policy. The case study chosen is the Arab‐Israeli conflict. Is it possible to buy peace between Israel and its neighbours?1 Factors influencing the chance of promoting regional peace agreements are examined. Special emphasis is placed upon the dependence of the recipient upon external financial aid, which is defined as a special variant of rent income. Furthermore, the structure of the conflict as well as the ability of the rent‐donating government to verify the policy of the recipient is taken into consideration. The main empirical findings are that, in comparison to Israel, the chance of altering the foreign policy of the Arab actors with the help of financial aid is much higher. However, despite similarities between Jordan, the PLO and Syria, structural differences among the Arab actors exist. Although all Arab parties involved in the Arab‐Israeli conflict are dependent upon external sources of income in general, in the Syrian case the dependence upon outside political aid is significantly lower than in the case of Jordan and the PLO. Thus, although the donation of financial aid played a major role in convincing the PLO and Jordan to alter their policies towards Israel, the chance to repeat this outcome is much lower in the Syrian‐Israeli case
