Israel says 20 diplomats and the consul general will leave the British consulate in East Jerusalem, with a seven-person team allowed to remain for limited work. UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband says some staff have been temporarily withdrawn for security reasons, but the building will stay open as the UK Mission, Jerusalem. Israel says the move responds to UK sanctions on settlements in the occupied West Bank.
