Israel Retaliates after British Sanctions
(Jerusalem Post) Tobias Holcman - Following the UK sanctions announced Tuesday against Israeli West Bank communities, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar announced that the British consulate in eastern Jerusalem would be shut down, while British representatives at the Kiryat Gat Civil-Military Coordination Center for Gaza would be expelled. Other sanctions include the termination of training by UK forces to Palestinian Authority security forces and banning the entrance of 12 British elected representatives and other British nationals involved in antisemitic and anti-Israel activity. Sa'ar said, "Israel has nothing against the British people. We know that we have many friends in Britain. Unfortunately, a hostile Labour Government is in office, systematically acting against the State of Israel, and it has left us with no choice but to finally respond to its hostile actions."
