## Key points

- A legal group has urged police to investigate the JDA’s presence at a London travel event.
- The agency’s tourism platform promotes occupied East Jerusalem.
- Fifteen MPs have also called for settlement-linked exhibitors to be removed.

## Summary

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians has asked the Metropolitan Police to investigate the participation of the Jerusalem Development Authority (JDA) at a London travel trade event. The request concerns the JDA’s tourism platform, iTravelJerusalem, which promotes tourism in occupied East Jerusalem; it comes amid British government sanctions on Israeli settlements and a commitment to restrict their promotion.

The JDA is a joint Israeli government and Jerusalem municipality agency that has been involved in settlement construction and expansion. Its platform is part of the Israeli stand at World Travel Market, where Palestine Solidarity Campaign activists protested on Tuesday and two were removed by security guards. Fifteen MPs have separately called on the government to seek the removal of exhibitors whose participation could promote settlements; the police and event organisers were asked to comment.
