A sign has been removed from the British consulate in East Jerusalem as the diplomatic post faces a planned closure by the Israeli government.
The consulate was first established in 1838. Its proposed closure has been linked to Israeli retaliation for sanctions imposed by the UK.
The removal of the sign has drawn attention to the future of the long-established British diplomatic presence in East Jerusalem. The available information does not specify who removed the sign or when the action took place.
The consulate’s planned closure follows the wider dispute between the UK and Israel over the sanctions. No further details about the measures or the timetable for closing the consulate are provided in the supplied material.
