UK MPs urge government action over London event advertising settlement-linked Israeli agency

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).
