Zack Polanski, leader of Britain's Green Party, has called on the UK government to resist Israeli pressure regarding the future of the British Consulate in East Jerusalem, Middle East Eye reported exclusively. Polanski's comments are expected to intensify pressure on the Labour government to reject compliance with Israeli demands over the diplomatic facility's status.
The consulate's fate has emerged as a point of contention between London and Jerusalem, with Israel apparently seeking to influence its operations or role in the contested territory.
