Real estate event in London ‘advertised sale of land in illegal Israeli settlements’

An Israeli real estate event held in north London advertised properties in settlements located in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, despite organizers' prior denials. Pamphlets from the event, which followed similar roadshows in Toronto and New York, featured projects in areas like Ma’ale Adumim and Givat Ze’ev. The event drew criticism from over 100 UK lawmakers and civil society groups, who argued it violated international law. Organizers later apologized for an "error" in the brochures, stating that properties in "disputed territories" were mentioned by mistake. The UK government has referred the matter to the Advertising Standards Authority for scrutiny under UK law.

Inside the ‘unacceptable’ UK fair selling property in Israeli settlements

Activists gained access to the Great Israeli Real Estate Event in London, where property in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem was marketed. The event, held at Edgware United Synagogue, promoted sales of land and property in areas like Givat Zeev, Tivuch Shelly, and Maale Adumim. Participants reportedly suggested the war on Gaza might lead to property discounts. Over 100 British legislators had urged the UK government to prevent the event, deeming the sales unacceptable. Protests occurred outside the venue, resulting in 15 arrests. Activists noted a lack of mention of Palestinians, with real estate agents referring to occupied territories as "Anglo-communities."
