Israel Shows the UK the Door After London Crosses the Line

Britain and Israel are suddenly facing what may be their worst diplomatic crisis yet, and Jerusalem has decided it’s done playing nice. After Britain accused Israel of unlawful occupation, announced an import ban and new sanctions, Israel fired back by closing the British Consulate in Jerusalem, restricting British involvement in Palestinian affairs and barring British figures from entering the country. Former Israeli ambassador to the UK Mark Regev and senior contributing editor at JNS Ruthie Blum unpack what’s really driving Britain’s dramatic shift and why London’s actions could destroy its ability to ever play peacemaker again. You’ll learn why this clash goes far beyond settlements and what it reveals about a much bigger transformation underway in Britain’s relationship with Israel.
