Claim 1
“They've closed the consulate in Jerusalem.”
Israel had already closed the British consulate in East Jerusalem.
Contemporaneous reporting described Israel as ordering the United Kingdom to close the consulate within 30 days, not as having already completed the closure.

Claim 2
“Jerusalem is an occupied city.”
Jerusalem as a whole is an occupied city.
International institutions describe East Jerusalem as occupied and reject unilateral changes to the city's status, but the blanket wording treats all of Jerusalem as having the same legal status. That creates a misleading impression by omitting the East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem distinction.
Omits: The statement omits the legally significant distinction between East Jerusalem, which the United Nations and International Court of Justice treat as occupied Palestinian territory, and West Jerusalem, whose final status remains unresolved and is not generally described by those bodies as occupied Palestinian territory.

Claim 3
“The decision legally is null and void.”
The relevant decision was legally null and void.
The transcript does not identify which decision is being discussed or the legal jurisdiction and rule under which it would be void. Without that referent and legal standard, the assertion cannot be confirmed or refuted as stated.

Claim 4
“Sanctions in particular on those illegal settlements in the West Bank.”
The Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law.
The ICJ said Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem were established and maintained in violation of international law, and UN Security Council Resolution 2334 says they have no legal validity. Israel disputes that legal conclusion, so the claim is an unresolved application of international law rather than an uncontested fact.
Checked twice, independently: the first pass returned Accurate and the second Unverifiable. Recorded as Unverifiable.
