Israelul închide consulatul britanic din Ierusalim
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem in response to UK sanctions on Israeli settlements. He criticized the UK's actions as immoral interference in Israel's sovereignty and electoral process. Saar also stated that the UK would no longer participate in US-led coordination efforts for Gaza and that training for Palestinian Authority forces would cease. Additionally, he announced a ban on entry to Israel for 12 British figures, including former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, citing their alleged antisemitism. Saar coordinated this response with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing that the Israeli public rejects a Palestinian state.
