British consulate in Jerusalem remains operational
Israeli Foreign Minister Gadron Sa'ar announced the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem in response to British measures against settlements in the West Bank, which include expelling British diplomats and preventing entry to individuals associated with activities hostile to Israel. In contrast, the British Foreign Secretary confirmed that the building will not be closed and will continue to operate as an independent site called "The British Mission in Jerusalem." The Israeli decision came after an escalation of tensions between the two sides, with the measures including a limited scope for the British team’s activities within the building, amid warnings of a possible diplomatic escalation after days of secret communications between London and Tel Aviv. Among the options being considered by London is the expulsion of Israeli diplomats, with a final decision potentially delayed until after the upcoming Israeli elections scheduled for October 27, while maintaining security relations between the two countries.
