Ex-diplomats urge Paris and London to uphold law in Palestinian areas

Former diplomatic community members from France and the United Kingdom, both permanent members of the Security Council, have called for cooperation to ensure respect for international law in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel. They urged translating the mutual recognition of the State of Palestine, declared by the countries in 2025, into tangible actions. Expressing concern over the destruction of Gaza, settlement practices in the West Bank, and allegations that these constitute ethnic cleansing, they emphasized the need for adherence to the outcomes of the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. They called for the cessation of military cooperation with Israel and encouraged Palestinians to unite and organize free elections. This comes amid escalating tensions between Israel and European nations, following calls to halt settlement expansion, while the ongoing difficult humanitarian situation in Gaza threatens regional peace and security.
