Britain to Expel 27 Israeli Diplomats
A British tripwire threatens to expel 27 Israeli diplomats if Israel insists on closing its consulate in East Jerusalem. This move is a response to Israel's decision to shut down the consulate where 27 British diplomats work. The threat comes amidst escalating tensions between the two countries, after Britain imposed sanctions on settlements in the West Bank. In retaliation, Israel took punitive measures, including closing the consulate, halting British activities in Palestinian areas, and barring entry to British officials. Although Britain has not officially announced an expulsion decision, it has conveyed a message rejecting Israel’s move and warned of a possible reciprocal expulsion of Israeli diplomats for every British diplomat expelled. This escalation reflects increasing tension in the relationship between the two countries, amid British criticism of Israel’s policies in Gaza and the West Bank.
