The move comes in response to the UK’s decision to sanction goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.

After announcing the closure of the consulate , Sa’ar said further countermeasures would be taken including barring a number of MPs from entering Israel, as well as not baring the UK from participating in the US-led Gaza coordination mission in Israel.
