UK weighs expelling Israeli diplomats over Jerusalem consulate closure
Original: UK considers expelling Israeli diplomats if Jerusalem consulate shuts, sources say
British officials are considering expelling Israeli diplomats if the UK consulate in Jerusalem is shut down, according to sources cited by Reuters. The consulate has long served as Britain's diplomatic presence in the city, and its closure could prompt a reciprocal downgrade of Israeli representation in London. The move comes amid already strained relations between the two governments over the Gaza war.
Why now: The potential expulsion of diplomats marks a significant escalation in UK-Israel diplomatic tensions at a sensitive moment in the conflict.
