ISRAEL ORDERS CLOSURE OF BRITISH CONSULATE IN EAST JERUSALEM
Israel has reportedly informed the British consulate in East Jerusalem that it must close, with diplomats assigned to the mission expected to lose their accreditation within 30 days, according to an Israeli official and a source familiar with the matter.
The move marks a significant escalation in already strained Israel-UK relations and could trigger further diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
The decision comes amid growing disagreements between London and Jerusalem over Israel’s policies in the region, raising questions about how far the diplomatic standoff could go.
The situation remains closely watched as both sides assess their next steps.
