Israel is demanding the United Kingdom’s removal from the U.S.-led Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism council, which is based in Israel, according to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar. Saar is also requesting the closure of the British consulate located in East Jerusalem, occupied by Israel since 1967. This demand follows the British government’s decision to prohibit trade with Israeli settlements deemed illegal, situated in the occupied West Bank. The move escalates tensions between Israel and the UK regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel views the British decision as an impediment to potential peace negotiations. The Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism aims to facilitate the rebuilding of infrastructure in Gaza following conflicts. The future of the British consulate and its operations remain uncertain following Israel’s demand.
