> Signs and plaques have been taken down at the British consulate in occupied East Jerusalem. Israel’s foreign minister ordered it closed in response to UK sanctions on goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The consulate handles Britain’s relationship with Palestinians. The order does not affect the British embassy in Tel Aviv, and the UK says the consulate will stay open as a UK Mission.
