The US officially closes Jerusalem consulateअमररिा ि आनधिाररि रप स यरशिम िानणजय दतािास बद िर नदया

- Money Control

● The United States has officially shuttered

its consulate in Jerusalem, downgrading

the status of its main diplomatic mission to

the Palestinians by folding it into the U.S.

Embassy to Israel.

● This decision was driven to increase the

efficiency and effectiveness in diplomatic

engagements.

● State Department spokesman Robert

Palladino said that It does not signal a

change of US policy on Jerusalem, the

West Bank, or the Gaza Strip.

● For decades, the consulate functioned as a

de facto embassy to the Palestinians. Now,

that outreach will be handled by a

Palestinian affairs unit, under the

command of the embassy.
