Israel is implementing punitive measures against the United Kingdom following actions by the UK's Labour Party deemed anti-Israel and antisemitic. Minister of Justice Gideon Sa'ar announced that the British Consulate in East Jerusalem will cease to function as a consulate, with 20 out of its 27 diplomats departing. The building itself is owned by Britain.
Further measures include the expulsion of British representatives from a headquarters in Kiryat Gat and the barring of entry into Israel for 12 British public figures involved in antisemitic and anti-Israel activities. Additionally, the UK will stop training Palestinian Authority security personnel. Despite these actions, both nations will continue dialogue, and no further retaliatory steps are planned against Israel for the expulsion of diplomats.
In a separate development, Sa'ar revealed that Israel recently provided crucial information to the UK concerning the RAF Fairford case.
