Palestinian anger at possible UK Jerusalem embassy move

The Palestinians have called a proposal by the UK to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as a "blatant violation of international law".

UK PM Liz Truss is said to have told her Israeli counterpart, Yair Lapid, about the review while at the UN.

Such a move would be highly controversial. The opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem in 2018 was met with outrage across the Arab world.

Mr Lapid tweeted his thanks to Ms Truss for "positively considering" it.
