Britain is considering expelling Israeli diplomats if Israel carries out its order to shut the British consulate in East Jerusalem this week in a dispute over sanctions targeting Israeli settlements, four sources said.
Israel on September 8 ordered Britain to close the East Jerusalem consulate within 30 days and remove its diplomats from the city, after Britain said it would impose a ban on trade of goods made in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
The 30-day deadline for Britain to close the consulate ends on Thursday, which will impact around 30 British diplomats who work there, along with their family members, the sources said.
Britain is considering expelling Israeli diplomats from Israel's embassy in London in response to any closure of the consulate, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
It would be a highly unusual step for allies to expel each other’s diplomats. Despite the current strains, the UK and Israel are close economic, security and intelligence partners.

England is gone. So sad.
Englandistan. Sad. It was a pretty civilied and enjoyable country when I lived there and they actually had a patriotic gubmit. Alas, poor UK-istan, I knew her well.
The riots have spread to Belgium and the UK is next is this why Trump pulled out of the UK it’s about to go up in flames . UK PM is not putting money into the Military he’s putting it into benefits and welfare for the laziest group on the planet the muslims
“UK PM is not putting money into the Military he’s putting it into benefits and welfare for the laziest group on the planet the muslims”
Yep, very true. Read ‘em and weep. The Brits had already lost their empire and then to add insult to injury, decided to import muslims. A very bad move.
They always manage to pick the absolute wrong choice here lately. Stunning and alarming.
YEP
Their leaders are like American Democrats
Israel needs to cut off all intelligence to the UK, and so do we.
From that period on the ever-increasing influx of dark-skinned former subjects have inundated the small English island. Before the end of the present century a Muslim King will be occupying the British throne, having displaced the European line of blood.
I assume that is already the case.
Next the Brits will decree that all Jews in the UK must wear a yellow star patch on their clothing.
I’m calling it UKistan. See tagline.
Get UKistan out of Five Eyes. And defuse their nukes, somehow.
The US is fighting a war to prevent Iran getting nukes. Britain already has them, just waiting for the Moslems to finish their takeover.
Oct 7 will be a mess in the EU and other parts of the West
“Embrace the suck”.
