UK MPs urge government action over London event advertising settlement-linked Israeli agency Submitted by Imran Mulla on Mon, 11/02/2026 - 16:31 The World Travel Market event is set to begin on Tuesday and advertise the Jerusalem Development Authority Britain's Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband attends the meeting of the top diplomats in Istanbul on 23 October 2026 (AFP) Off Fifteen MPs have written to the British government demanding "urgent action" to stop an international travel event in London, set to begin on Tuesday, from advertising an Israeli agency involved in the construction of illegal settlements. MEE revealed last week that the World Travel Market (WTM) event, which is scheduled to take place in London between 3-5 November, will feature a stand run by the Israeli government's tourist office. The Israeli stand is shared by numerous Israeli companies and organisations, including "iTravelJerusalem", which promotes tourism in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem and is managed by the Jerusalem Development Authority (JDA). The JDA, a statutory agency of the Israeli government and the Jerusalem municipality, carries out development initiatives across Jerusalem and has been heavily involved in the construction and expansion of illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian territory. Independent MP Adnan Hussain sent a letter to Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on Monday, which was signed by MPs from multiple parties, including Labour MPs John McDonnell and Kim Johnson, and former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The letter, seen by MEE, demands that the government "contact the organisers of WTM London and require the removal of exhibitors and promotional material where their participation would facilitate or promote illegal Israeli settlements". It asks the government to confirm "what steps are being taken to ensure that the ban on the advertising of illegal settlements is enforced in practice, rather than being confined to statements made in Parliament". Last month, the British government recognised Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory as illegal and announced comprehensive sanctions on Israeli settlements. All five Green Party MPs - Carla Denyer, Ellie Chownes, Hannah Spencer, Sian Berry and Adrian Ramsay - signed the letter, as did independent MPs Shockat Adam, Iqbal Mohamed and Ayoub Khan, as well as Scottish National Party MP Chris Law. The letter says: "The Government cannot credibly condemn the forced displacement of Palestinians, identify ethnic cleansing in the occupied Palestinian territory, and commit to prohibiting the promotion of illegal settlements in the United Kingdom, while allowing organisations implicated in these activities to use a major international event in London to promote their work." 'We expect an urgent response' According to a 2025 report by the Office of the European Union Representative for the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the JDA planned "for the eviction of the Umm Haroun compound - home to approximately 40 Palestinian families - and the construction of a 320-unit settlement" in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood.  Exclusive: London event advertises Israeli agency building illegal settlements Read More » In 2020, a JDA project to build a cable car in Jerusalem, which would involve the uprooting of trees and displacement of infrastructure including water, sewage and telecommunications, was approved by the Israeli government. The JDA also plans to build a large settlement housing project next to the Palestinian community of Beit Safafa in East Jerusalem. Hussam Zomlot, the Palestinian ambassador to Britain, said in response to MEE's report last Thursday: "Next week Israeli companies guilty of ethnic cleansing will be platformed at [WTM London]." Zomlot added: "The UK government must now turn their words into action: enforce these commitments and ensure those complicit in illegal occupation and settlements face real consequences." Hussain's letter sent on Monday says: "We expect an urgent response setting out the specific steps you will take before the event opens. A response limited to restating the Government’s position will not suffice. "The question is no longer simply what the Government believes, but whether it is prepared to act on what it has said." MEE reached out to WTM and the Foreign Office for comment but did not receive a response by time of publication.

UK: Labour to stop cooperating with Greens in 11 councils over 'Zionism is racism' vote Submitted by MEE staff on Mon, 11/02/2026 - 16:04 Greens leader Zack Polanski accuses government of wanting to 'impose genocide support from its local councils' Britain's Prime Minister Andy Burnham chairs a meeting of the National Economic Council in Glasgow, on 30 October 2026 (AFP) Off Britain's governing Labour Party has decided to stop cooperating with the Green Party in 11 councils across England over the Greens adopting a policy that "Zionism is racism" last month. Bridget Phillipson, the Labour chair, said the Green motion on Zionism "crosses a line and we cannot work with any party that supports it - at any level of government". Prime Minister Andy Burnham denounced the motion as "antisemitic" last month. The Green Party said it would "not take lectures" from a government that supplies weapons to Israel.  According to Labour, cooperation with the Greens will stop on Arun, Derbyshire Dales, Havant, Lewes, Sheffield, Stafford, Warwick, Wealden, West Devon and West Suffolk councils. Six Green council groups, in Broadland, Monmouthshire, North Somerset, Rother, West Oxfordshire and West Sussex, have condemned the motion. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Phillipson said: "Any local power-sharing arrangement cannot come at the expense of upholding the moral obligation we have to stand up for everyone in our communities and the values we share. "We are pleased that some local Green parties have rightly opted to disavow this policy and have called on their party’s leadership to do the same. It is disappointing that some local Green parties have not met the conditions Labour has set out. "Labour continues to oppose this divisive policy and calls on the Green party to do the right thing and rescind it." The Greens responded in a statement, saying: "Across the country, Green, Labour, independent and Liberal Democrat councillors have worked together to provide stable local government, protect services and deliver positive change. Israel bans Zack Polanski after Green Party backs 'Zionism is racism' motion Read More » "Leaders across these parties are rightly proud of what those partnerships have achieved. "Those who issued ultimatums that destabilised power-sharing agreements have often ignored the judgments of their own local leaders, failed to respect the choices made by local voters, and are disrupting successful partnerships." Through a vote of party activists at the Green Party's annual conference in October, the Greens became the first major party in the UK to recognise Zionism as a form of racism - and to back a single democratic Palestinian state with equal rights for all ethnic and religious groups, rather than a two-state solution. Green leader Zack Polanski, who is Jewish, said on Monday afternoon that Labour's decision to end power sharing with the Greens in local authorities would "backfire" on the party. "The Green Party want to tax billionaires, tackle the climate crisis and stop arming a genocide," Polanski said. "Labour want to interrupt your local services & impose genocide support from its local councils. "Andy Burnham revealing himself and his project...."

Tehran on Monday said that the country was holding "intensive" indirect talks with Washington to avoid a fresh round of US attacks on Iran ahead of the US midterm elections this week.
