Israel closes British consulate in East Jerusalem
Original: BREAKING: Israel confirms it is closing the British consulate in East Jerusalem after UK ban on trade with illegal West
Israel has confirmed it is shutting the British consulate in East Jerusalem, a move announced shortly after the United Kingdom banned trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The diplomatic escalation follows growing tension between the two governments over settlement policy and the treatment of Palestinians. The consulate's closure marks a significant deterioration in UK-Israel relations.
Why now: A direct Israeli retaliatory measure against a major ally over new UK sanctions on West Bank settlements is a major diplomatic development.
