Signs and plaques have been removed at the British consulate in occupied East Jerusalem Israel's foreign minister ordered the consulate to close in response to British sanctions on goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The consulate oversees the UK's relationship with Palestinians. The closure order does not impact the British embassy in Tel Aviv. But Britain says the consulate will remain open as a UK Mission.
