Over 100 former British and French diplomats are sounding the alarm, accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing and demanding urgent action from their home governments. In a bold joint letter, they urge Britain and France to impose trade bans and halt arms sales to pressure Israel into accepting a Palestinian state — a stance rooted in their deep Middle East experience and the fact that both nations recognized Palestine in 2025. They highlight settlement expansion, especially the E1 project, as a key obstacle to peace and a blow to Israel’s global credibility. The diplomats paint a grim picture: Palestinians in Gaza are “kettled” with scarce resources, while house demolitions and settler violence in the West Bank amount to systematic erasure. With tensions rising after UK officials summoned Israel’s envoy over E1 construction tenders — and Israel’s foreign minister defending Jewish rights across the land — these seasoned diplomats are calling for concrete penalties to preserve the two-state solution before it’s too late.
