LONDON — The U.K. and Israel have stepped back from the diplomatic brink by securing a compromise to prevent the full closure of the British consulate in East Jerusalem. Most diplomats will leave what will now be operating as a “U.K. Mission” in the occupied territory — but Israel has stepped back from closing it entirely ahead of Thursday’s deadline. Both sides were presenting this as a good outcome, in a diplomatic tussle over the U.K.’s plans to impose sanctions on illegal settlements in the West Bank. U.K. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said the diplomats and their families were being “temporarily withdrawn” to secure their safety, but he said the mission will remain independent, operational and continue to work with the Palestinian people. “We will work in the coming months to build back up our presence, and we will not take reciprocal action while such discussions are underway and credible,” he continued. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar set out a list of diplomatic actions taken against Britain, adding: “We established a clear principle: It is not possible to act against Israel without Israel taking appropriate measures in response.” Sa’ar said the consulate would be “closing its operations today” and that the “sign of the British Consulate in Jerusalem has been removed.” Twenty British diplomats, including the consular general, will be leaving Israel. But the British flag was still flying on Thursday morning, the BBC reported. A person familiar with Israeli government thinking, granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter, told POLITICO the mission is “basically an empty shell” that cannot issue visas, renew passports or liaise with the Palestinian Authority.  “The seven diplomats there, their work is basically to maintain the building and hold the Union Jack in place,” they said. A U.K. Foreign Office official presented the deal as a “good outcome” nonetheless. Miliband maintained that Britain does not accept Israel has a “legal right” to shutter the site that has been there for nearly 200 years because East Jerusalem is deemed “occupied territory.” The hope in the U.K. Foreign Office is that maintaining a presence will make it easier to build back up after elections in Israel on Oct. 27. Israel threatened to close the consulate within 30 days of September 8, in retaliation to Andy Burnham’s government announcing a ban on trade with illegal settlements in the West Bank. U.K. National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell traveled to Jerusalem last week as part of efforts to persuade the Israeli government not to shut the consulate.
