英国政府威胁为每位被迫离开以色列的英国外交官驱逐一位以色列外交官，这可能导致多达27名以色列外交官被逐出英国1。这一举措是对以色列决定关闭英国驻东耶路撒冷领事馆的回应1。该领事馆位于东耶路撒冷谢赫·贾拉赫社区，定于本周四关闭1。
以色列的决定源于英国采取的一系列政策措施1。英国禁止与非法以色列定居点相关的贸易商品，并对支持定居点建设的英国公司实施制裁1。英国国家安全顾问乔纳森·鲍威尔上周赴耶路撒冷进行谈判，试图阻止领事馆关闭，但未能成功1。以色列外交部长吉迪恩·萨阿尔随后批评英国的决定存在"道德扭曲"1。
此外，以色列也撤销了荷兰外交官的资格证书，以回应荷兰的类似禁令1。英国已撤销大量对以色列的武器出口许可证1。
Britain has threatened to expel one Israeli diplomat for every British envoy forced to leave Israel, a measure that could result in the expulsion of up to 27 Israeli officials 1. The escalation follows Israel's decision to shut down the UK's consulate in East Jerusalem, a facility located in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood 1. The closure stems from Britain's prohibition on trade with goods from illegal Israeli settlements and its imposition of sanctions against British companies supporting settlement construction 1.
British National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell traveled to Jerusalem the previous week in an attempt to prevent the consulate's shutdown, but the effort proved unsuccessful 1. Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar characterized Britain's policy as "morally twisted" 1. The consulate is scheduled to close this Thursday 1. In a parallel action, Israel has also revoked the credentials of Dutch diplomats in response to similar Dutch sanctions on settlement-related goods 1. Britain has additionally revoked a substantial number of weapon export licenses to Israel 1.
