Britain Continues Jerusalem Mission Despite Israeli Lockdown
British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband confirmed that the British Consulate General in East Jerusalem will not be closed, but will be renamed "The British Mission in Jerusalem." It will remain independent and continue providing services to the Palestinians. This came after Israel ordered the closure of the consulate following London's plans to impose sanctions on settlements in the West Bank. Britain announced that it would reinforce its presence again after withdrawing some staff and their families, while emphasizing that no similar measures have been taken against Israel during the current negotiations.
