French courts refused to ban an Israeli real estate exhibition in Paris despite accusations that participating companies are promoting apartments in West Bank settlements and occupied East Jerusalem, Shehab Wire reported. A French-Palestinian association said it intends to appeal the decision.
The exhibition had drawn legal challenges over allegations that vendors were marketing properties in occupied Palestinian territory, which human rights groups and many governments consider illegal under international law.
