Dozens of former senior French and British diplomats called on their governments Saturday to coordinate efforts enforcing international law in the Palestinian territories, Al-Monitor reported. The group of 102 former envoys issued a joint statement accusing Israel of attempting to "destroy" prospects for a viable Palestinian state.
The diplomats urged Paris and London to work together on upholding international law in the Palestinian territories, though the report did not specify what concrete measures they proposed. The statement represents the latest intervention by veteran foreign service officials on the question of Israeli policy and Palestinian statehood, an issue that has drawn increasing international scrutiny in recent months.
