‘Palestinians will bear the cost’: UK consulate in East Jerusalem prepares to shut its doors

The UK consulate in East Jerusalem is set to close its doors on Thursday, following an order from Israel to shut down the mission. This move marks a significant escalation in tensions between the UK and Israel, with the UK imposing a ban on trade with illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and sanctions on those who help build or finance them.

Why it matters

The UK consulate in East Jerusalem is being forced to shut, which could lead to increased tensions between the UK and Israel. This could have a negative impact on trade and diplomatic relations between the two countries.
