UK Warns against Israel Removing it from Gaza Ceasefire Center

The United Kingdom warned against any attempt by Israel to remove British officials from the Gaza ceasefire coordination center on Friday, after reports that Israel was considering expelling UK officials. The UK government said on Thursday that it remains committed to implementing the 20-point Gaza peace plan, and any move to remove its officials would “undermine shared efforts.” The comments came in response to reports that Israel is considering expelling officials from Britain and other European nations from the monitoring center. The UK remains committed to “playing our part in improving the situation on the ground,” the British government told The Associated Press. Also, the Dutch Foreign Ministry on Thursday said Israel was removing two Dutch diplomats from the ceasefire center. Israel's Foreign Ministry said the decision was in response to a Dutch ban on the trade of Israeli products from the occupied West Bank and other “ anti-Israel measures.” a
