Despite Israel's bombastic announcement that it will illegally close the British consulate in occupied East Jerusalem, the consulate is still open as of today and the Union Jack still flies over the building. Middle East Eye reports that the UK is considering defying Israel's order to close.

Could Britain defy Israel’s order to shut down its East Jerusalem consulate?
Israel announced the closure of the diplomatic mission as part of retaliatory measures following British foreign secretary Ed Miliband’s decision to ban trade with Israeli settlements

A problem I have is that a portion of people who defend Biden's policy vis a vis Israel-Palestine insist that they're not pro Israel but then go radio silent when asked what they think, if anything, the next Dem president should do differently. Sorry but I think there's an obvious conclusion here?

Besides the embassy, US forces had already drawn down to just Irbil and possibly Bashur airbases in Kurdistan and the embassy annex at BIAP. Seems clear this means closure of Irbil—things to watch for include what remains at BIAP under State authority, and whether JSOC maintains the Kurdish CTG…

That trend continued until of course Trump got bored of being "peacemaker" and decided to let Israel resume the genocide at full force, and of course the criminal GHF conspiracy. I'm no Trump defender. But lets not rewrite history.

I mean, no. The months prior to Trumps inauguration featured record-low truck entry into Gaza and the frequent effective closure of Kerem Shalom crossing due to violent looting if aid trucks by the IDF-backed Yasser Abu Shabaab gang. I'm talking like 2-6 trucks per day, vs the 500 minimum needed.

In another world Israel's offensive in Gaza petered out in November/December 2023 as they expended their entire strategic stockpile of aerial bombs, as the US followed its own laws and moral obligations and did not provide new supply.

It does not seem very coincidental to me that all of the people so dutifully devoted to Biden's policy record on Israel-Palestine are also so averse to saying whether or not they think the next president should do anything differently. But it is funny since they almost all concede Israel is evil.

Phil Gordon, the National Security Advisor to Kamala Harris who in late 2024 insisted that the VP was categorically opposed to the suspension of any more weapons to Israel and would never change policy, says Brett McGurk is wrong in his assertion that the US was too mean to Israel.
Harris was hardly the only U.S. official to warn, publicly and privately, that an Israeli assault on Rafah would be a “huge mistake” with potential "consequences." Biden had by then already called it a "red line" and later went on CNN to threaten to withhold offensive weapons over it. And he was right to do so to prevent Israel from launching a ground offensive without a plan for the more than one million civilians sheltering there. It is implausible that a U.S. green light would have unlocked a favorable hostage offer from Hamas, which made no such offer even after Israel went into Rafah (or for eight months after that) or that Netanyahu would have agreed to end the war with Sinwar still alive. Whatever the administration's “biggest mistakes,” pressing Israel to change its Rafah plans was not among them.
