U.K., Israel both claim a moral win with apparent truce in diplomatic feud

What happened: The U.K. and Israel reached a compromise to keep Britain's consulate in east Jerusalem open under a new name with reduced staff, after Israel threatened to shut it over British sanctions on West Bank settlement goods. Key numbers: Consulate operating since 1839. Israel gave Britain 30 days to close it. Why it matters: The deal may prevent ties between the longstanding allies from escalating, but highlights strained relations between Israel and several European governments over its actions in the Palestinian territories.
