UK weighs expelling Israeli diplomats over Jerusalem consulate closure
Original: UK considers expelling Israeli diplomats if Jerusalem consulate shuts, sources say
The UK is considering expelling Israeli diplomats if Israel goes ahead with closing the British consulate in Jerusalem, according to sources cited by Reuters. The possible closure of the consulate, which has long served as a British diplomatic presence in the city, has prompted discussions in London about a reciprocal response involving Israeli diplomatic staff in the UK.
Why now: A potential British diplomatic retaliation over the Jerusalem consulate closure would mark a significant deterioration in UK-Israel relations.
