Over 100 Former UK and French Diplomators Accuse Israel of Ethnic Cleansing, Demand Arms and Trade Bans

On 22 August 2026, 102 former French and British diplomats — including ex-UN envoys Jeremy Greenstock and Emyr Jones Parry — signed a letter to President Macron and PM Burnham accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing. They urged trade and arms sales bans to pressure Israel into accepting a Palestinian state. The appeal follows seven nations' condemnation of Israel's E1 settlement plan.
