Campaigners condemn possible relocation of Britain’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem
Friends of al-Aqsa warn the move will send a ‘clear message of British support for the violation of international law’

CAMPAIGNERS have condemned the possible relocation of Britain’s embassy in Israel, following reports that a site in the contested city of Jerusalem has already been earmarked.
Friends of al-Aqsa (FOA) warned on Wednesday that the relocation of the embassy from its current location in Tel Aviv, a proposal being considered by Prime Minister Liz Truss, would send a “clear message of British support for the violation of international law.”
The warning comes after Tory MPs allegedly received briefing notes ahead of the party’s conference in Birmingham from the Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI) group claiming that Britain already owns land in West Jerusalem on which a new embassy could be built.
