据一份提交给政府的咨询文件显示，英国前总检察长多米尼克·格里夫（Dominic Grieve）已向英国外交部建议，以色列无权关闭位于东耶路撒冷的英国总领事馆。
Israel does not have a legal right to close the British consulate general in East Jerusalem, former UK Attorney General Dominic Grieve has advised the Foreign Office, according to an advisory paper sent to the government.
《卫报》周一报道称，格里夫（2010年至2014年担任总检察长）认为，以色列不能关闭该领事馆，因为它位于东耶路撒冷，而联合国及其大多数成员国（包括英国）均承认该地区为被占领的巴勒斯坦领土。
The Guardian daily reported on Monday that Grieve, attorney general from 2010 to 2014, argued that Israel cannot close the consulate because it is located in East Jerusalem, which the UN and most of its member states, including the UK, recognise as occupied Palestinian territory.
以色列表示，计划于10月8日关闭该领事馆，以回应英国外交大臣埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband）本月宣布的对以色列定居点商品实施的全面贸易禁令。
Israel has said it plans to shut the consulate on Oct. 8 in response to the UK’s sweeping ban on trade in goods from Israeli settlements, announced by Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband this month.
格里夫敦促英国通过法律途径挑战这一决定，他指出，以色列正在主张其对东耶路撒冷实施主权控制的权力，而作为占领国，它并不具备这种权力。
Grieve urged the UK to challenge the decision in court, saying Israel was asserting a right to impose sovereign control over East Jerusalem that it does not possess as an occupying power.
格里夫表示：“在承认巴勒斯坦国之后，继续保留东耶路撒冷的总领事馆，有助于维持英国关于耶路撒冷最终地位尚待确定的立场。这并不意味着承认以色列的主权。”
“Retaining a consulate general in East Jerusalem after recognition of the state of Palestine preserves the UK’s position that Jerusalem’s final status remains to be determined. It does not concede Israeli sovereignty,” Grieve said.
英国外交部大臣伍德勋爵（Lord Wood）在上议院承认格里夫的观点可能有一定道理，同时警告称，以色列可能会“事实上”使该领事馆无法运作。
UK Foreign Office Minister Lord Wood acknowledged in the House of Lords that Grieve may have a point, while warning that Israel could “de facto” make the consulate inoperable.
格里夫还表示，关闭领事馆将影响巴勒斯坦人，因为这将阻碍来自约旦河西岸和加沙地带的援助、监督及报道工作。
Grieve also said closure would affect Palestinians by hampering aid, oversight, and reporting from the West Bank and Gaza.
英国驻耶路撒冷使团的历史可追溯至1838年，独立于英国驻特拉维夫大使馆。
The British mission in Jerusalem dates to 1838 and is separate from the UK embassy in Tel Aviv.
与此同时，英国外交大臣埃德·米利班德周一称，以色列政府在加沙和约旦河西岸的行为是“世界良心的污点”。在工党年度大会上，米利班德发表了尖锐的批评，称以色列所面临的威胁“不能成为”其后续行为的正当理由。
Meanwhile, UK Foreign Minister Ed Miliband on Monday called the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank “a stain on the conscience of the world.”Delivering a sharp criticism at Labour’s annual conference, Miliband said the threats Israel faces “cannot justify” the actions that have followed.
他表示，在安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）的领导下，工党已改变了其方针，承诺将挑战在加沙和约旦河西岸发生的侵权行为。
He said Labour had changed its approach under Andy Burnham’s leadership, promising to challenge abuses in Gaza and the West Bank.
“在安迪的领导下，我们重新调整了我们的立场。我们公开谴责西方定居者恐怖分子所实施的种族清洗行为；我们也揭露了加沙地带战争罪行的证据，并坚决反对以色列对巴勒斯坦的非法占领。我们的言行始终一致。”米利班德还宣布了一系列针对与以色列定居点经济往来的措施，表示英国将不再仅仅停留在谴责的层面，而是采取实际行动。
“And under Andy's leadership, we have reset our approach. We call out ethnic cleansing by the settler terrorists in the West Bank. We call out the evidence of war crimes in Gaza. We call out Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine, and we match word with action.”Miliband also announced measures targeting economic links with Israeli settlements, saying Britain would move beyond statements of condemnation.
2023年10月7日事件发生后，以色列对加沙地带发动了残酷的攻势，导致近7.4万人死亡、约17.5万人受伤，加沙地带的大部分地区沦为废墟。
Following the events of Oct. 7, 2023, Israel launched a brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip, killing nearly 74,000 people, injuring around 175,000 others, and reducing most of the enclave to ruins.
尽管2025年10月达成了停火协议，但以色列此后仍持续对加沙发动攻击，根据加沙卫生部的数据，这些攻击已导致超过1,400名巴勒斯坦人死亡、近5,000人受伤。
Despite a ceasefire that took effect in October 2025, Israel has continued to carry out attacks on Gaza since then, killing more than 1,400 Palestinians and injuring nearly 5,000 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
此前由联合国委托进行的调查已经认定，以色列对加沙地带的巴勒斯坦人实施了种族灭绝行为。
A UN-commissioned inquiry previously found that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
