    The British Consulate General in Jerusalem is the British High Diplomatic Representation in the occupied Palestinian Territories.[a] The consulate is located in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem.[1]

    In February 2021, the British Consul-General in Jerusalem, Philip Hall, condemned settlements in the Israeli-occupied territories as "illegal and an obstacle to restarting peace talks" between Israel and Palestine.[2]
