הושגה פשרה דיפלומטית, והאיום הבריטי לגירוש נציגים ישראלים מלונדון ירד מהשולחן

Britain and Israel reached a diplomatic compromise that defused a threat to expel Israeli diplomats from London. Israel announced it closed the consulate in East Jerusalem, but allowed Britain to keep a limited task force operating there. The British foreign minister rejected Israel's framing, insisting the consulate was not closed and that Israel has no legal right to close it because the area is occupied territory. The core dispute over the status of East Jerusalem remains unresolved.
