100 diplomats in letter against Israel: 'You are carrying out ethnic cleansing'
More than 100 former British and French diplomats sign letter to French President Macron and UK Prime Minister Burnham, calling for a boycott of Israel, 'Palestine is being erased before our eyes.'
Assessment
A group of over 100 retired diplomats from Britain and France is trying to pressure their governments into action against Israel. The letter directly accuses Israel of ethnic cleansing and calls for a boycott, using dramatic language about Palestine being erased. The signatories are former officials, not current ones, so their immediate influence on Macron or Burnham is limited. Watch whether any sitting politicians publicly endorse or distance themselves from the letter's claims.
