*Deal reached as Israel Orders UK Consulate in Jerusalem Closed Over Trade Ban* - Israel and Britain reached a last-minute compromise to keep the nearly 200-year-old British diplomatic mission in Jerusalem open under a new name and with a reduced staff. - Israel had ordered the consulate closed after Britain imposed sanctions targeting Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including a ban on trade in goods from the area. - Under the agreement, the consulate founded in 1839 will be renamed the “UK Mission,” with 20 British diplomats, including the consul general, departing and seven remaining. - Britain said it would be holding off on reciprocal measures that could have triggered a major diplomatic crisis between the longtime allies.
