Ex-diplomats urge Paris and London to push Israel on legal compliance
Former diplomats from France and the United Kingdom, both permanent members of the Security Council, have called on Israel to respect international law. They emphasized the need for their recognition of the State of Palestine to be translated into tangible actions. They confirmed that Israeli occupation policies—including home demolitions, settler violence, and ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem and the West Bank—constitute threats to the prospects of establishing a Palestinian state. This is amidst the ongoing blockade of nearly two million Palestinians in Gaza, destruction of residential areas and property, and collusion of occupation forces in widespread violations. They urged the imposition of sanctions, including suspending trade agreements and military cooperation with Israel, to ensure compliance with decisions by the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.
