  "account": "TEL AVIV: Israel has ordered Britain to shut its East Jerusalem consulate within 30 days, as punishment for sanctions imposed by Britain, France and Canada on Israeli settlements, Israeli officials announced on Wednesday. This follows a string of punitive measures taken by Israel in response to the sanctions, including barring British politicians from entering the country, expelling officials and ending UK training for Palestinian security forces in the West Bank. The sanctions, the strongest collective action taken by major Western allies of Israel over settlement issues, have further isolated Israel diplomatically, despite the US condemning the move.",
  "summary": "British foreign secretary Ed Miliband said on Wednesday he regretted Israel's decision to order the consulate to close, but that it was not a surprise.",
