UK Probes London Event Promoting West Bank Settlements

Britain’s Charity Commission is urged to open an urgent inquiry into Edgware United Synagogue after evidence from Middle East Eye and the ICJP that exhibitors at the Great Israeli Real Estate Event promoted property in illegal Israeli settlements (including Ma'ale Adumim, Kfar Eldad, and Teneh Omarim). The government has asked the Advertising Standards Authority to review advertising linked to the event, while MPs criticized the government’s response; police say they are not investigating the matter at this time.

Met Police Not Investigating London Real Estate Event as ASA Probes Ads

London's Metropolitan Police say they are not investigating the Great Israeli Real Estate Event held in Edgware, after the government asked the Advertising Standards Authority to probe ads for properties tied to Israeli settlements; the ICJP provided evidence to police, while the UK War Crimes/CTP has dozens of referrals related to the Israel-Hamas conflict but no UK-based probe into this event. Mayor Sadiq Khan and Green Party MP Ellie Chowns have criticized the event, and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said authorities will reassess if there is evidence of illegal-settlement advertising on UK soil.

The revelations prompted calls from Mayor Sadiq Khan and MPs for scrutiny, protests outside the venue, and organizers denying wrongdoing, while UK guidance cautions against settlement-related activity.
