Israel has no right to close UK Jerusalem consulate, legal advice says
Original: Israel does not have right to close UK consulate in Jerusalem, Foreign Office advised https://www.theguardian.com/politi
Government legal advice says Israel has no right to close the British consulate in Jerusalem, a mission that serves as the UK's diplomatic representation to the Palestinian Authority. The long-standing consulate has faced pressure amid ongoing tensions over Jerusalem and UK positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the disclosure has drawn attention to Britain's distinctive consular arrangement in the city.
Why now: Tensions between Israel and Britain over the consulate's status in contested Jerusalem are in the news amid the broader diplomatic fallout of the Gaza conflict.
