London police arrest 14 people during clashes between protesters and counter-protesters outside a north-west London synagogue hosting an Israeli property promotion event. According to multiple reports, around 1,000 people attend the demonstrations outside the Edgware United Synagogue, with demonstrators holding signs and staging rival rallies for and against the event.
The event is organised by My Home in Israel and is presented as a real estate show promoting properties located within Israel’s internationally recognized borders. Organisers say the marketed properties are legally situated within those boundaries.
Opponents of the event argue it is connected to selling land they describe as illegally occupied and say the promotion is part of a broader expansionist effort. Organisers deny those claims.
Several sources describe the incident as resulting in arrests amid disruptions outside the synagogue. Reports differ on specific allegations, but all focus on the disputed nature of the property being promoted and the street clashes that lead to police action.
