Jordan welcomes UK rejection of Israel's consulate closure
The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed its rejection of Israel's claim to close the British consulate in Jerusalem. It condemned the illegal Israeli measures against British diplomats and stated that Britain continues to operate independently from its new headquarters, “The British Mission in Jerusalem,” to ensure the maintenance of the British presence and support a two-state solution. Jordan reiterated its stance that East Jerusalem is Palestinian occupied territory without Israeli sovereignty, calling for the restoration of the consulate's previous legal status and urging that any new arrangements not be considered a change to Jerusalem's legal status. The Ministry also praised the British position, which upholds international law and UN resolutions, and pointed out that recent British measures align with supporting a two-state solution and include steps to prevent or limit settlement expansion in the West Bank. Jordan reaffirmed its full support for the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions.
