Marea Britanie ar putea expulza diplomați israelieni dacă Israelul închide consulatul din Ierusalimul de Est

The UK may expel Israeli diplomats in response to Israel's closure of the British consulate in East Jerusalem. This decision follows the UK's announcement of trade restrictions on products from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The closure deadline set by Israel is approaching, affecting around 30 British diplomats and their families. Sources indicate that the UK could retaliate by expelling a similar number of Israeli diplomats. Relations between the UK and Israel have become strained, particularly after the UK criticized Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank. The British consulate has operated for nearly 200 years, managing relations with Palestinians. Discussions to keep the consulate open have not yet yielded results, and the UK is seeking support from other European nations to address the issue with Israel.
