The wrong message to Israel

...the decision by the British government to rent space for our new embassy in Tel Aviv from the Africa-Israel...company chaired by businessman Lev Leviev sends precisely the wrong message. Leviev...who recently became a UK resident, is also a major settlement builder. Danya Cebus, a subsidiary of Leviev's Africa-Israel group, has built homes in three West Bank settlements - Mattityahu East, Har Homa, and Ma'ale Adumim. Additionally, Leviev is a major donor to the Land Redemption Fund (LRF)...The LRF uses highly questionable methods to secure Palestinian land for Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, in clear violation of international law and the Fourth Geneva convention.
