以色列政府宣布将于10月8日关闭英国驻东耶路撒冷领事馆，此举是对英国外交大臣埃德·米利班德宣布的以色列定居点贸易禁令的回应1。与此同时，以色列外交部长吉迪恩·沙阿亦宣布撤销荷兰外交官的资格，以回应荷兰针对定居点商品的进口禁令1。
英国前总检察长多米尼克·格里夫就此向英国外交部提出了法律建议1。格里夫指出，以色列作为占领国无权关闭位于联合国认可的被占领巴勒斯坦领土内的东耶路撒冷的领事馆1。他建议英国应在法庭上挑战这一决定，并表示保留驻东耶路撒冷领事馆有利于维护英国关于耶路撒冷最终地位待定的立场1。英国驻耶路撒冷领事馆成立于1838年1。
Israel announced plans to close the British consulate in East Jerusalem on October 8, 2024, in response to Britain's trade restrictions on Israeli settlement goods.1 Former UK Attorney General Dominic Grieve has advised the Foreign Office that Israel, as an occupying power, has no legal right to shut down the diplomatic mission located in East Jerusalem, which the United Nations recognizes as occupied Palestinian territory.1 Grieve recommended that Britain should challenge the decision in court, arguing that maintaining a consulate general in East Jerusalem following recognition of a Palestinian state "preserves the UK's position that Jerusalem's final status remains to be determined."1
The closure announcement came after British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband imposed a trade ban on goods from Israeli settlements.1 Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar simultaneously revoked the credentials of Dutch diplomats in retaliation for the Netherlands' import restrictions on settlement products, which took effect on September 22, 2024.1 The British consulate in Jerusalem has operated since 1838.1
