Ex-Western diplomats urge sanctions on settlements
More than 100 former diplomats from Britain and France are calling for an end to military cooperation with Israel and the imposition of sanctions on settlements, in response to what they describe as a policy of destroying Gaza and "ethnic cleansing" in the West Bank. The signatories sent a letter to the two prime ministers, asserting that Israel is carrying out attacks on homes and settler assaults in collusion with occupation forces, which constitute legal and human rights violations. They urged for actions including suspending partnership and trade agreements, halting arms exports, imposing a ban on funding settlements, and taking urgent steps to confront the "E1" settlement plan, which threatens the two-state solution and undermines the prospects for an independent Palestinian state.
