A group of UK lawmakers has called on the government to take action against a London travel industry event advertising an Israeli agency linked to West Bank settlements, Middle East Eye reported. The World Travel Market, beginning Tuesday, is scheduled to promote the Jerusalem Development Authority. The MPs' intervention comes as the event prepares to open its doors to industry participants.
The legislators' move reflects growing parliamentary concern over commercial promotion of entities associated with Israeli settlement expansion in occupied Palestinian territory.
