we look at Israelâs reaction to UK sanctions against Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saar announced retaliatory counter-measures, including the closure of the British Consulate in Jerusalem. Meanwhile in the UK, foreign secretary Ed Miliband has disagreed with Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis who described the move as a “truly dark day” that put British Jews in greater danger.
We also look at the implications in the lead up to the October Israeli elections, and for the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Adam Fleming discusses the continued fallout between Britain and Israel with chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet and Panorama filmmaker Jane Corbin.

I remember when electric lighting was introduced to the residential streets of Edinburgh in the late 1950's, the soft greenish glow of the gas lamps was replaced by a bright yellow glare from what I understood to be "sodium lamps" which were painful to look at directly. Those were replaced in their turn.
