PoliticsUK Threatens to Expel 27 Israeli Diplomats Over East Jerusalem Consulate Closure
The UK has warned Israel it may expel 27 Israeli diplomats from its London embassy if Israel closes the British consulate in East Jerusalem, which employs 27 British diplomats. The UK ambassador to Israel, Simon Walters, conveyed this message, threatening reciprocal expulsions. The dispute follows the UK's ban on trade from Israeli settlements and sanctions on related companies. Israel plans to close the consulate on October 8, a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar.
