Britain is reportedly preparing to expel Israeli diplomats if Israel shuts down the British consulate in East Jerusalem this week, triggering a major diplomatic escalation between two longtime allies. Israel ordered Britain to close the consulate within 30 days after London announced sanctions targeting goods produced in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The deadline expires Thursday, with around 30 British diplomats and their families potentially affected. According to sources cited by Reuters, Britain could retaliate by expelling a similar number of Israeli diplomats from Israel’s embassy in London. Behind-the-scenes efforts by Britain’s national security adviser Jonathan Powell to keep the consulate open have reportedly failed so far. #uk #britain #israel #ukisrael #israelnews #britishnews #israelpalestine #palestine #eastjerusalem #jerusalem #westbank #gaza #gazawar #middleeast #middleteastnews #diplomaticcrisis #diplomaticrow #israelnewsupdate #uknews #worldnews #g
