UK Mission in Jerusalem to Continue in Reduced Capacity After Israeli Ultimatum

UK Mission in Jerusalem to Continue in Reduced Capacity After Israeli Ultimatum

Israel and the United Kingdom have reached an agreement to keep a British diplomatic presence in Jerusalem operating under a new name, "UK Mission, Jerusalem," after Israel demanded the closure of the British Consulate General. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband stated the mission will continue services and engagement with Palestinians, though with reduced staff and a revised diplomatic status. The dispute originated from British sanctions against Israeli settlements, leading Israel to demand the consulate's closure. Both nations aim to avoid a significant diplomatic crisis, with the UK planning to eventually restore its full presence.

Netanyahu’s Ex-Military Secretary Alleges Officials Tried to Alter Oct. 7 Records

Netanyahu’s Ex-Military Secretary Alleges Officials Tried to Alter Oct. 7 Records

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s former military secretary, Avi Gil, alleged that the premier presented an incomplete account of the October 7 Hamas attack and that Netanyahu's chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, attempted to alter an official record. Gil stated that Braverman instructed a stenographer to change the time of Netanyahu's first update on the invasion. Braverman is under investigation for forgery and fraud related to this alleged alteration. The Likud party denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated propaganda, and reiterated that Netanyahu received no advance warning.
