Could Britain defy Israel’s order to shut down its East Jerusalem consulate? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A faded union jack was still fluttering defiantly over the British Consulate in the troubled Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem this morning. The door of the consulate was open for business as usual. But there is uncertainty over how much longer that will be the case.

Three weeks ago Saar announced the closure of the consulate as part of a package of retaliatory measures following UK
UK settlements ban: How conspiracy theory accusing Burnham of courting ‘Islamist voters’ went global (opens the original)

Read excerpt
Less than two months have passed since Andy Burnham was installed as British prime minister. He has taken a more relaxed tone than his lacklustre predecessor, Keir Starmer.
