The brief
Nearly 100 UK Members of Parliament and peers have called on the government to cancel the *Great Israeli Real Estate Event* in London, citing concerns over its promotion of properties in Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Coverage highlights the growing political and legal scrutiny, with London Mayor Sadiq Khan joining the condemnation and activists suggesting a shift in Labour’s stance on Middle East policy. Coverage emphasizes the event’s ties to settlement expansion, with outlets like *Middle East Eye* and *Arab News* reporting on the legal notice served to the hosting synagogue and the open letter from lawmakers. *The Canary* and *MSN* focus on the protest arrests and Khan’s public opposition, while *Middle East Monitor* underscores calls from rights groups targeting the UK Business Secretary.
The debate centers on whether the event violates international law or UK ethical standards.
