Israel tells British consulate in East Jerusalem to close within 30 days, sources say

Israel has told the British consulate in East Jerusalem that it must close and that diplomats assigned there will lose their accreditation within 30 days, an Israeli official and two sources familiar with the matter said.

British representatives assigned to a U.S.-led Gaza coordination mission in Israel, as well as British diplomats based in ⁠Ramallah, must leave within seven days, the two sources said.

Foreign Minister Gideon Saar on Tuesday said Britain must close its consulate in East Jerusalem, which is accredited to the Palestinian Authority, in response to Britain imposing sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Joining Britain, France and Canada also said they would ban the import of goods from settlements.

Israel's ⁠government, which expected the sanctions, is set to meet on Wednesday to discuss its response to countries who also signed Britain's action, said three sources familiar with the matter.
