UK legal opinion: Israel cannot close British consulate in East Jerusalem

Former UK Attorney General Dominic Grieve advised the Foreign Office that Israel lacks legal authority to close the British consulate in East Jerusalem, planned for 8 October. The move is retaliation for the UK's ban on trade with Israeli settlement goods. This escalates UK-Israel diplomatic friction over occupied territory, with legal and political implications.
