An Israeli real estate event held in north London appears to have advertised the sale of land located in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. This comes despite earlier denials from the event organizers that such properties would be promoted.
Pamphlets circulated from the event, which took place on a Sunday, have been shared with The Guardian. These materials showcase real estate projects situated in several settlements, including Maโale Adumim, Givat Zeโev, Kfar Eldad, and Teneh Omarim in the occupied West Bank. Additionally, projects in Ramat Eshkol and Givat Hamatos in East Jerusalem were featured.
The revelation raises questions about the transparency of the event and the adherence to international law regarding settlements in occupied territories. The inclusion of these specific locations in promotional materials directly contradicts previous statements made by the organizers, casting doubt on their initial assurances.
