Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported1m ago
On Tuesday, Israel announced the closure of the British Consulate in occupied East Jerusalem, which handles diplomatic relations with Palestinians. The retaliatory measure follows Britain's introduction of a trade ban on goods produced in Israeli settlements located in the occupied West Bank.
The British trade ban was announced by Foreign Minister Ed Miliband in coordination with France and Canada. This action represents the latest in a series of sanctions targeting Israel as the country faces increasing international diplomatic isolation over its settlement policies.
