Britain drops Israel embassy move

A spokeswoman said it was not satisfied with the company's involvement in settlement activity in the West Bank - which contravenes international law.

Israel's ambassador to London said the decision was "appeasement to those who slander Israel".

All Jewish settlements in the Palestinian territory are regarded as illegal under international law, although Israel disputes this.

More than 400,000 Jewish settlers live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, areas which were captured by Israeli in the 1967 war.

this is some good news,

one thing i find funny is how Israel are turning it into
now you are anti israelis because you wont take residence in a building owned by a company that builds and still building on palestinian land

They seem to think that not supporting them in EVERY aspect of their life is racism

The Israeli thought by having a UK Embassy in the building , on that land would legitamise the Israeli right to be there,
