British Consulate in Jerusalem closes
Last night, workers at the British Consulate in East Jerusalem removed signs and panels from the consulate building after Israel's deadline to close it had expired. This step comes as part of an escalation in tensions between London and Tel Aviv. Israel had given Britain until last month—30 days—to shut down the consulate and withdraw its diplomats, in response to London's imposition of sanctions on settlements in the West Bank, including a ban on goods produced there. Israel considers this stance illegal under international law and rejects it. The closure decision affects approximately 30 British diplomats and their families, while Britain is considering the possibility of expelling Israeli diplomats from the Israeli embassy in London as a retaliatory measure.
