(Reuters) Dan Williams - Israel stepped up its public opposition on Saturday to a plan by President Biden to reopen a U.S. consulate for Palestinians in Jerusalem. "My position, and it was presented to the Americans...is that there is no place for a U.S. consulate which serves the Palestinians in Jerusalem. We are voicing our opinion consistently, quietly, without drama," Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said. Foreign Minister Yair Lapid added, "If they (the U.S.) want to open a consulate in Ramallah, we have no problem with that."
