Event Summary

Two former heads of government from The Elders group, Tommy Robinson and Helen Clark, warned on July 17, 2026, that Israeli policies under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are leading to the disappearance of Palestine. They called for an end to Israeli impunity and urged the European Union to suspend trade agreements with Israel and ban settlement products. The warning followed their visit to Israel, the occupied Palestine, Jordan, and Lebanon. They noted a deterioration since 2023 and cited UN reports of rising settler violence. Separately, Israel's parliament dissolved for October elections, and protests in France called for the release of detained Gaza hospital director Hussam Abu Safiya.
