While the specific reasons for the withdrawal have not been disclosed, the move suggests a heightened sense of caution due to potential security or safety concerns.

The spokesperson said that the embassy and consulate remain fully staffed and continue to provide consular services to those who require assistance.

The UK government has advised British nationals in Palestine to exercise caution and to avoid areas of unrest.
