Cardinal Vincent Nichols has written to Prime Minister Liz Truss to express his “profound concern” over the relocation of the British Embassy to Israel.

The intervention of the Archbishop of Westminster follows an announcement that Ms Truss

told her Israeli counterpart Yair Lapid that she is reviewing the location of the British Embassy to his country.

It is understood that the review focuses on the question of moving the embassy from Tel Aviv, where almost all other countries have their embassies, to Jerusalem.
