Article. 660 prominent Israelis call on Ireland to recognize Palestine. . A group of 660 say they are "worried by the continued political stalemate, the occupation, and the settlement activities that lead to further confrontations with Palestinians, and quash any chances for compromise". The group includes the former Israeli Attorney General Michael Ben-Yair, former Israeli Ambassador to South Africa Ilan Baruch, and Nobel Prize Laureate Daniel Kahneman. Alon Liel, former Director General of Israel's Foreign Affairs ministry, said: "The Irish people worked with conflict; solved their conflict.
