Vara headed a delegation of the British Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (BGIPU) on a visit to the Jordanian Senate, where they met numbers of the chamber led by Senator Hani Mulqi, the Jordan news agency added.
Even Liz Truss has said she is considering following the footsteps of Trump & relocating the British embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem

This is a firm reversal of the view made by the former British Prime Minister Liz Truss who in late September met with the Israeli premier Yair Lapid and said she is actively considering relocating the British Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
This decision today appears to be reversed under the new British PM Rishi Sunak. The social media has been chattering.
I see cowardly Cleverley @JamesCleverly has given in to @FCDOGovUK anti israel bias & refused to move the British Embassy to the Capital of Israel.
