Israelul închide consulatul britanic din Ierusalimul de Est, după ce Marea Britanie, Franța și Canada au interzis importurile din Cisiordania

Israel announced the closure of the British consulate in East Jerusalem in response to the UK, France, and Canada’s plans to block imports from Israeli settlements. The UK will also withdraw from a US-led coordination mission for Gaza, and certain British officials will be banned from entering Israel. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar criticized the UK’s actions as a moral distortion and interference in Israel's sovereignty. The decision aligns with European countries' plans to restrict trade with Israel due to escalating violence and settlement expansion. The British Chief Rabbi condemned the sanctions as detrimental to British Jews, while the impact of the trade bans is expected to be largely symbolic.
