Israel warns U-S over plan to reopen Jerusalem consulate

Palestinian official, Yair Lapid said United States reopening of Jerusalem consulate could destabilise the Israeli government.

Israel has said that the United States’s plan to reopen its consulate in Jerusalem is an unwelcome idea and could destabilize Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s government.

The previous administration of U-S President Donald Trump signalled support for Israel’s claim on Jerusalem that the country will move the U-S embassy from Tel-Aviv and shuttering the consulate which has traditionally been a base for diplomatic outreach to Palestinians.
