Israel closes consulate in response to UK sanctions
Israel responds to British sanctions by closing the consulate in East Jerusalem and barring British officials from entering the country. This follows London and other European countries imposing restrictions on trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Israeli measures include expelling British representatives and suspending Britain's involvement in training Palestinian forces. This step is considered a diplomatic escalation amid growing international pressure on Israel due to settlement expansion and settler attacks, with 12 countries announcing their intention to impose trade restrictions on illegal settlements in accordance with international law.
