London police arrest 14 people as rival demonstrations take place outside a north-west London synagogue hosting an Israeli real estate event, according to multiple reports. The demonstrations involve roughly 1,000 participants split between those supporting and those opposing the event. The event is promoted as a property sales initiative connected to Israel, organised by “My Home in Israel.” Supporters say the properties marketed are within Israel’s internationally recognized borders and deny any wrongdoing. Opponents argue the event is connected to the sale of land they describe as illegally occupied by Israel, and they say it forms part of a broader effort to push Palestinians out. Police intervene during clashes at the protest location, leading to the arrests. Other coverage notes that the event’s hosting arrangements change after the original venue withdraws, though details vary by outlet. The synagogue organisers and event backers reject the allegations about the land involved, while protest organisers maintain their objections remain tied to settlement-related property claims. No additional information about injuries or the charges against those arrested is included in the provided summaries.
