UK warns of mass Israeli diplomat expulsion if East Jerusalem consulate closes

The UK has warned Israel it will expel 27 Israeli diplomats, including their families, if Israel closes the British consulate in East Jerusalem on October 8. This threat follows Israel’s decision to retaliate against UK sanctions on West Bank settlements. UK National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell recently visited Israel to prevent the closure but failed to reach an agreement. The move marks a significant deterioration in diplomatic ties, with Israel accusing the UK of interfering in its upcoming elections.

"Israeli Minister Gideon Sa'ar Quits Unity Government Over Exclusion from War Cabinet"

Israeli minister Gideon Saar has resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's emergency unity government, citing his exclusion from the highest-level war cabinet overseeing the conflict with Hamas in Gaza. Saar, a former rival to Netanyahu, joined the government along with other opposition members to manage the war effort, but felt sidelined when he was not included in the decision-making war cabinet. His departure, along with another ally, is not expected to destabilize Netanyahu's government, which still holds a majority in parliament.
