The new British government rejected today, Thursday, a proposal from the former Prime Minister, Liz Truss, to move the United Kingdom's embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to the occupied city of Jerusalem, after Truss had ordered to consider the possibility of moving the embassy to Jerusalem.

The Prime Minister's spokesperson, Rishi Sunak, said in a statement to reporters that "there are no plans to move the British embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv." He added, "We looked at this issue under the previous administration, and I can confirm that there are no plans to move it."

Considering the transfer of the embassy, a step taken by former US President Donald Trump, sparked the displeasure of officials in the Palestinian Authority and Arab foreign ministers, amid international consensus on the necessity of maintaining the status quo in occupied Jerusalem.

On the other hand, London called on all politicians in Israel to "respect minorities" ahead of the release of the final election results, as it appears that Benjamin Netanyahu is returning to power with the help of far-right parties. The spokesperson said, "We call on all Israeli parties to refrain from inciting language and to show tolerance and respect towards minorities."

These statements come amid the growing strength of the extreme fascist right in the 25th Knesset and the preliminary results showing that the "Religious Zionism" led by the extremist Itamar Ben Gvir won 14 seats out of 120, making it the third largest Israeli party and the second largest bloc in terms of the number of seats in the government coalition expected to be formed by Netanyahu.

Al Jazeera network quoted the spokesperson of the British Prime Minister yesterday as saying that the current British government does not plan to move the British embassy in Israel to the occupied city of Jerusalem.

It is worth noting that Truss pledged during her tenure as the British Foreign Minister and her competition to succeed Johnson to move the British embassy to occupied Jerusalem if elected Prime Minister, which means "Britain's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."

A great sense of relief prevailed in official circles and the right-wing in Israel following Truss' victory in the internal elections held by the British Conservative Party on September 5 to choose a successor to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The leader of the far-right extremist fascist party "Otzma Yehudit," Itamar Ben Gvir, hastened to congratulate Truss and called on her to implement her previous pledge to move the embassy to occupied Jerusalem.
