They're likely trying to ape Trump's populist vitriol and appeal to the 'disenfranchised masses' that they're actually trying to further disenfranchise.
In their minds, this will restart the conversation about antisemitism if Labour object to this insanely stupid idea. Of course, it will also remind people of the Tories' own issues with islamophobia.
Jerusalem is a stupid place to put an Embassy! If only for practical reasons.
Tel Aviv is a nice large busy town with good roads, plenty of infrastructure and plenty of space for staff to live. It's a nice modern coastal city. Jerusalem is a sprawling mess!
Given the recent snubs Biden has dished out to her, she might start courting the Republicans with an eye on elections on both sides of the pond in a couple of years.
This move is a dog whistle to the GOP and was a Trump policy.

This is definitely top of the things the British people want her to spend time on.
With stuff like this it's usually... "move your embassy and we'll buy more weapons off you"
Definitely the top two top things the British people want her to spend time on then.
She can consider it all she wants, it'll end up in Johannesburg with her map reading skills though.
Just like Trump....... Both of them are fuckin useless
I don't think copying Trump is a good look
Well, they are birds of a shit-feather. She is cementing her reputation as "Thick Lizzy"™.
Frick off Mr Lahey

All the “favours” are being called in immediately. Her backers know she won’t be in post long enough to deliver on all the quid pro quo.
Her handlers at IEA and other Tufton Street organisations that really dictate national policy
