UK aims to prevent East Jerusalem consulate closure
The UK is urgently trying to prevent Israel from closing its consulate in East Jerusalem, which is set to occur this week in response to UK sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Israel announced the closure after the sanctions, which target settlement goods and service providers, and threatened to expel Israeli diplomats if the mission shuts. The consulate, established in 1838, manages UK relations with Palestinians in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza.
