Israel plans to shutter UK consulate in East Jerusalem following import ban
Israel has announced the closure of the British consulate located in East Jerusalem. This move comes as a reaction to intentions from the UK, France, and Canada to prohibit imports originating from Israeli settlements in the West Bank. According to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, the UK will also withdraw from a US-managed coordination initiative concerning Gaza. The United Nations and Palestinian authorities maintain that Israeli settlements violate international law.
