Israel is considering expelling British officials from the US-led coordination centre for post-war Gaza, located in Kiryat Gat. Officials familiar with the matter confirmed this possibility to The Jerusalem Post. The centre opened in mid-October to oversee the implementation of President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza’s stabilisation and rehabilitation. Britain has the second-largest delegation at the centre, after the United States, with the deputy to the American general in command being British.
This potential expulsion follows Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s announcement that Dutch representatives would be removed from the centre. Sa’ar stated this action was in response to a series of anti-Israel measures by the Netherlands, including legislation banning trade in Israeli products from the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. Israel had previously removed Spanish officials from the centre, accusing Madrid of an "obsessive anti-Israel bias."
Disagreement on Germany and Italy
An Israeli official denied reports that Germany and Italy would also be expelled from the international coordination centre. The Jerusalem Post reported this denial. However, digests from Haaretz and Al Bawaba, citing the Financial Times, indicated that Italy and Germany could also be targeted.
Omissions
None of the right-rated digests mention the specific details of the centre's opening in mid-October to oversee President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan. The right-rated digest also does not mention the previous expulsion of Spanish officials or the specific reasons cited by Israel for that action.

How each side covered it
Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.
Left
17 rated outlets
- All twelve left‑rated outlets reported that Israel is weighing the removal of British officials from the US‑led International Gaza Support Center, and that the discussion may extend to other European delegations. The digests from Haaretz, Ynet, The Cradle and others note prior expulsions of Dutch and Spanish staff, while the Saudi Gazette and Middle East Eye full reports add that Italy and Germany could also be targeted.
- The left‑leaning coverage linked the possible expulsions to the United Kingdom’s plan to halt trade with illegal West Bank settlements, describing the move as retaliation for European criticism of Israeli settlement policy. Saudi Gazette quoted Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s warning, and Middle East Eye reproduced Netanyahu’s description of Britain as an “Islamic republic” and Ed Miliband’s condemnation of settlement expansion.
- Only the two full reports supplied public‑opinion data, citing a YouGov poll on British support for a trade ban and a separate survey on attitudes toward the ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu. None of the digests mentioned these polls, nor did they reproduce Netanyahu’s remark or the detailed statements from UK ministers beyond the generic warning.
Centre
24 rated outlets
- The centre-rated reports from The Jerusalem Post and Reuters both focused on Israel considering the expulsion of British officials from the US-led coordination centre for post-war Gaza. The Jerusalem Post, in its full report, provided details about the centre's function and the composition of the British delegation. It also reported Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s announcement regarding the expulsion of Dutch representatives and the reasons cited. The Jerusalem Post also included an Israeli official's denial of reports concerning the expulsion of German and Italian representatives. Reuters, in its digest, also mentioned the possibility of other European officials being expelled.
Right
8 rated outlets
- The right-rated digest from Al Bawaba led with "Tensions Rise Between Israel and Britain over Gaza." It reported that Israel is considering expelling British officials, and possibly other European officials, from the US-led coordination centre for the Gaza Strip following the war. The digest stated this move comes after the expulsion of Dutch representatives.
