heeded

The American public seems to have heeded that call.

The US had publicly pressured Israel not to hit oil and nuclear facilities, advice seemingly heeded by Tel Aviv.

For now - on the scant evidence that is available - Israel may have heeded Washington's warnings and reined in some of its more ambitious plans to cause maximum pain to the Iranian authorities.

Few of those parroting these words have heeded the conclusion of Francesca P. Albanese, an international lawyer and the United Nations special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories: “Israel cannot claim the right of self-defense against a threat that emanates from a territory it occupies, from a territory that is under belligerent occupation.”

He said France had not heeded warnings of impending carnage and had for too long "valued silence over examination of the truth", but said his country had not been an accomplice in the killings.
