Sadiq Khan Condemns London Real Estate Event Over Settlement Sales
Campaigners say the event markets properties in illegal settlements and have asked police to investigate possible breaches of UK law.
- On Sunday, June 14, 2026, the 'Great Israeli Real Estate Event' took place at Edgware United Synagogue in London despite widespread calls for cancellation over its marketing of property in illegal Israeli settlements.
- The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians had raised legal concerns that the exhibition violated international law by facilitating real estate sales in occupied Palestinian territories.
- Clashes erupted outside the synagogue during demonstrations, resulting in 14 arrests, while evidence inside reportedly showed companies promoted properties in Ma'ale Adumim, contradicting organizer denials.
- London Mayor Sadiq Khan condemned the event and informed the Metropolitan Police of potential criminality, while the ICJP formally requested the Charity Commission investigate the synagogue.
- Investigators now face pressure to determine whether the event breached UK domestic law, as the UK government works to align commercial activity with its stated position against settlement expansion.
