Israel does not have right to close UK consulate in Jerusalem, Foreign Office advised

Dominic Grieve, former UK attorney general, advised the Foreign Office that Israel has no legal right to close the British consulate in East Jerusalem on 8 October. Israel acted after UK trade bans on settlement goods. Grieve said the UK should challenge the closure in court, as East Jerusalem is occupied Palestinian territory.
