800 Western officials warn of the repercussions of their governments' involvement in the aggression against Gaza. The signatories of the "Transatlantic Statement" said that their governments risk complicity in one of the worst humanitarian disasters of this century.
The statement is the latest indication of major opposition among employees of governments considered allies of Israel. The identities of those who signed or supported the statement were not announced, and the BBC said that nearly half of the signatories were officials, each of whom had at least 10 years of experience in government.
