Former Diplomats Urge France, UK to Sanction Israel Over Palestine Policy

A coalition of 102 former French and British diplomats urged France and UK to jointly sanction Israel over its policy in occupied Palestinian territory, warning that the current Israeli actions threaten peace and stability in the region. The diplomats claimed that Israel's settlement expansion, military operations, and human rights abuses are major obstacles to a two-state solution. They called on their countries to use their diplomatic influence to pressure Israel into compliance with international law. The letter is seen as a significant development in the international debate over Israel's actions in Palestine.
