Israel ordered a British military support team out of the West Bank, giving about 10 personnel seven days to leave. [1] The Telegraph filed it as retaliation after UK sanctions on settlement goods. [1] AP filed those sanctions earlier in the week. [2] An order to leave is not a closed alliance. Print the order. Do not print a war.

The team's work advising Palestinian Authority forces under Oslo, and its reporting on settler violence, is in the Telegraph wrap. [1] A monitoring role is not a combat deployment. Print trainers out. Leave a consulate closure to the edition that owns a named consulate closure.

Friday recap that treats seven days as already gone is a feed, not the Telegraph. Print the order. Print seven days.

Seven days to leave is a diplomatic insult with a deadline. Monitoring missions end this way: ordered out, not shot at. Friday starts the countdown.

Countdowns tick loudest at the start; Friday's ticking is fresh. Seven days run. The Telegraph's clock runs with them.

Showing ten monitors the door is statecraft as petty cash, not a casus belli. Settlement-goods sanctions bought an eviction notice, not a rupture. The seventh day has not dawned in Friday's copy.

Ten monitors got a week's notice, not a rupture. Settlement-goods sanctions bought an eviction. Friday's copy does not yet contain the seventh day.

Ten monitors got a week's notice. Settlement-goods sanctions bought an eviction, not a rupture. Showing ten the door is petty cash, not a casus belli.

Ten monitors got a week's notice. Friday still has six days on the notice. Settlement-goods sanctions bought an eviction.
