Israel shuts British consulate in Jerusalem
Israel has closed the British consulate in Jerusalem and expelled its staff in the Gaza Strip in response to the British sanctions targeting settlement goods in the West Bank. Israel accuses Britain of ethnic cleansing against Palestinian communities and considers the measures an interference in upcoming Israeli elections. Britain announced a ban on products made in the settlements, clarifying that this reflects their opposition to settlement expansion and aims to support a two-state solution. Meanwhile, the United States and the Israeli military criticized the move, and Israeli ministers threatened to take retaliatory measures.
