Ex-diplomats urge halt to arms aid to Israel
More than one hundred former diplomats from Britain and France have called for a halt to arms transfers to Israel, a suspension of military cooperation with it, and the imposition of punitive measures against Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. They emphasized that their respective governments bear responsibility for enforcing international law and holding those responsible for war crimes accountable. The experts urged the suspension of partnership and trade agreements with Israel, a ban on all forms of commerce with the settlements, and the adoption of measures to protect Palestinian rights, especially in light of the E1 settlement plan, which threatens the possibility of a contiguous Palestinian state. The letter called for concrete actions that reflect France and Britain's recognition of the State of Palestine, which they announced in 2025, reaffirmed the stance of the International Court of Justice, and imposed sanctions on occupation leaders due to their ongoing settlement activities.
