UK renames East Jerusalem consulate after Israeli demand, sparking diplomatic tensions
Israel issued a deadline for the United Kingdom to close its consulate in East Jerusalem, which Israel considers part of its capital. In response, the UK renamed its East Jerusalem consulate to a "mission" and removed its signs from the building. While some UK diplomats are expected to remain, the move has sparked diplomatic tensions. Al Jazeera reported that the UK threatened to expel 27 Israeli diplomats in retaliation for Israel's demand, a move described by some as "not the act of a friend."
