Amnesty Urges UK to Block London Event Promoting West Bank Settlement Homes
According to reports, the organization said the “Great Israeli Real Estate Event,” set for June 14, is part of a broader series of international promotional gatherings aimed at diaspora audiences.
It reportedly advertises homes in Israeli settlements alongside properties in Israeli cities.
Amnesty argued that the event reflects a wider pattern of international marketing efforts supporting investment in settlements, particularly as settlement expansion and land appropriation in the occupied West Bank have intensified under the current Israeli government.
The group also pointed to what it described as increasing state-backed settler violence and accelerated annexation measures in the territory.
Kristyan Benedict, Amnesty International UK’s crisis response manager, said in a statement: “Given the significant escalation in speed and scale of annexation measures under Israel's current government and the rise in state-backed settler violence, it is unthinkable that the UK government could allow an event to be held in the UK that openly promotes activities encouraging settlement expansion,” he said.
