Israel expels UK military team from West Bank
Israel ordered British soldiers who were providing support and training to Palestinian security forces in the West Bank to leave the country, as part of its response to British sanctions against settlements in the area. The British team was monitoring settler violence and sending detailed reports to London and Washington, but Israel accused them of spying on the British soldiers and demanded their dismissal. Israel considered the closure of the team a significant loss of information regarding the escalation of violence in the West Bank, in addition to shutting down the British consulate in East Jerusalem during the month.
