## Resource

On today's Cheat Sheet, Wilf and Sophy discuss how Israel will close the UK consulate in East Jerusalem after the British foreign secretary announced sanctions on West Bank settlements. They also discuss the continuing travel chaos after over 1,000 flights were cancelled due to a traffic control issue. Then, why a request to land a RNLI boat carrying more than 100 migrants at the Port of Southampton and the Port of Portsmouth was refused on Sunday. Plus, why the UK has climbed into the top 10 in the latest Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa).
