Sadiq Khan Condemns London Real Estate Event Over Settlement Sales
Sadiq Khan says the invitation-only roadshow may breach UK law as campaigners and legal groups warn it promotes sales in illegal settlements.
- The 'Great Israeli Real Estate Event' takes place in London today, Sunday, June 14, 2026, amid intense scrutiny over its promotion of property in settlements considered illegal under international law within the occupied West Bank.
- London Mayor Sadiq Khan condemned the expo on Friday, calling settlements 'unjustifiable and illegal under international law,' while the Palestinian Youth Movement mobilized over 100 organizations demanding cancellation.
- The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians , a UK-based legal group, issued a notice to the venue citing potential breaches of the Fraud Act 2006 and Serious Crime Act 2007 related to settlement-based property sales.
- Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper stated on Tuesday the government is 'pursuing this particular event,' while Khan confirmed the Metropolitan Police will assess allegations of criminality regarding unlawful property sales.
- Around 700,000 settlers live in West Bank outposts considered illegal under international law, and the UK government has repeatedly affirmed settlement expansion violates international law, raising concerns the expo normalizes this enterprise.
