‘Unacceptable’: London protesters slam illegal Israeli settlement land sale

London protesters denounced an event promoting Israeli settlement land and property sales on May 25, 2024, calling the activity unacceptable and a violation of international law. The demonstration, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, targeted a real estate event in central London that advertised properties in the occupied West Bank. Organizers stated that such sales are illegal under international law and contribute to the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories. The protest aimed to raise awareness and condemn what they described as the "commodification of stolen land." Participants carried banners and chanted slogans against the settlement expansion, emphasizing the impact on Palestinian communities. The event highlighted ongoing international debate and legal challenges surrounding Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which are considered illegal by the United Nations and a majority of the international community.
