Palestinian women mourn over the body of Awda Farakhneh, 53, — who was killed by Israeli army soldiers following a settler attack — during his funeral in the West Bank town of Deir Jarir, northeast Ramallah, July 20, 2026
ORGANISERS of an Israeli real estate fair in London selling properties in West Bank settlements have continued advertising illegal homes despite public outcry.
Emails shared with the Morning Star reveal promotional material from the Great Israeli Real Estate Event promoting properties in internationally recognised illegal settlements.
Activists with the Jewish Anti-Zionist Action (Jaza), who had infiltrated the event at the Edgware United Synagogue in June, were sent adverts from its organisers which included adverts for developer Harey Zahav, selling houses in “Judea and Samaria.”
More than 100 MPs and Lords signed a letter to the then foreign secretary Yvette Cooper last month asking the government to block the event from taking place.
A Jaza activist, who asked to be kept anonymous for fear of reprisals, said they had received the email on July 2, adding: “It is infuriating to see them continue to operate without consequences in their facilitation of real-time ethnic cleansing.”
