Israel shuts Jerusalem consulate in response to UK sanctions
Israel announced a series of measures in response to British sanctions imposed on settlements in the West Bank. These include closing the British Consulate in Jerusalem, expelling British representatives from the Gaza Coordination Center, halting training for Palestinian Authority forces, and banning the entry of 12 British individuals whom Israel considers hostile. Israeli Foreign Minister claimed that this step is a reaction to Britain's interference in Israeli affairs and its attempt to influence elections, and indicated that further actions may follow at Israel's discretion. Israel also strongly criticized the British decision, deeming it a blatant interference in its sovereignty, and reaffirmed that the settlements are illegal under international law. This comes amid escalating international pressure on Israel regarding settlement expansion and increasing attacks, amid declarations by 12 countries to impose restrictions on trade with settlement products.
