> More than 100 former British and French diplomats have written to the French president and British prime minister urging action against Israel. They accuse Israel of the “erasure” of Palestine, call for bans on trade and arms sales to pressure it to accept a Palestinian state, and warn that it is no longer seen globally as a genuine democracy.
