UK pulls staff from East Jerusalem consulate after Israeli closure order

Original: The UK has withdrawn staff and their families from its consulate in East Jerusalem after Israel said it would be closed

The UK has withdrawn its staff and their families from the consulate in East Jerusalem after Israel said it would close the mission. Israel framed the move as retaliation for the British government's ban on trade with illegal settlements in the West Bank. The escalation marks a sharp downturn in relations between the two countries.

Why now: Diplomatic tensions between the UK and Israel have escalated over the settlements trade ban, prompting reciprocal measures.
