Key facts

Israel ordered the closure of the British consulate in East Jerusalem in response to sanctions on Israeli settlements. The two sides reached a compromise, resulting in the consulate downgrading to a mission. British Foreign Secretary Miliband stated the facility will continue to provide services to U.K. citizens and work with Palestinians.
