More than 100 former British and French diplomats accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and called for international measures including a trade ban, The Guardian reported. In a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron and British Mayor Andy Burnham, the senior figures warned that Palestine is being erased before the world's eyes.
The signatories, described as senior diplomatic figures from both nations, urged their governments to take concrete steps in response to the alleged erasure. Their demands included economic sanctions against Israel, marking an unusually direct intervention by retired diplomatic personnel in Middle East policy.
