The British Ambassador to Israel has delivered a formal message to Israeli officials warning of a dramatic diplomatic escalation. According to Ynet’s exclusive report, if Foreign Minister Saar does not reverse the decision to close the British consulate in East Jerusalem—which employs 27 British diplomats—Britain will respond by expelling 27 Israeli diplomats from the embassy in London.

The measure represents an unprecedented diplomatic confrontation between the two nations, with British officials comparing Israel’s actions to those of Russia in terms of severity and justifying equivalent retaliatory measures.

The closure decision by Israel’s Foreign Ministry has triggered this formal warning, marking a significant escalation in bilateral tensions between London and Jerusalem over consular operations in contested territory.
