Over 200 former EU diplomats urged the EU to take action against Israel due to its actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Their open letter proposes nine measures, including suspending arms exports, halting funding of Israeli projects, and imposing sanctions like visa bans and asset freezes. They cite the ongoing conflict, lack of ceasefire, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, highlighting the deaths of over 2,600 Palestinians and the blockage of aid delivery as reasons for immediate EU intervention. The letter expresses disappointment at the EU's lack of response to the escalating situation.
