Israel to shut down UK consulate in Jerusalem after UK sanctions Israeli settlements in West Bank
Israel has announced that the UK consulate in East Jerusalem will be shut down, as Britain continues to push sanctions on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Britain, France and Canada announced measures to block imports from Israeli settlements, citing concerns over settlement expansion, settler violence, and threats to the two-state solution. The move drew an immediate and sharp response from Israel, with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar announcing the retaliatory measure at a press conference.
