Israel has appointed its first-ever resident ambassador to Slovenia, marking a significant diplomatic development. This comes after relations between the two countries deteriorated under the previous centre-left government led by Prime Minister Robert Golob, who had described Israel's military actions in Gaza as "genocide," according to Vanguard.

Israel has announced retaliatory measures against the United Kingdom and other countries that imposed sanctions on it, according to Al Jazeera. The countermeasures include four steps, among them the closure of the British consulate in East Jerusalem. The move marks an escalation in diplomatic tensions between Israel and the sanctioning states, with the consulate closure affecting British diplomatic operations in the contested city.

Al Jazeera reported that Israel told the United Kingdom to close its consulate in East Jerusalem within 30 days. The announcement came after the UK said it was imposing sanctions on illegal settlements, according to the report. The move marks a diplomatic dispute between Israel and the UK over policy toward settlements and consular representation in East Jerusalem.

The Justice Minister of South Africa, who also chairs the cabinet committee on migration, has expressed concerns that foreign entities, specifically mentioning Israel, are influencing unrest in the country, particularly in relation to protests that occurred in March.

The outlet reports that Israel retaliated in response to the sanctions, widening a diplomatic rift over settlement policy.
