French pro-Palestinian group NIDAL has petitioned a court to halt an Israeli real estate fair set to take place in Paris, claims AFP.

This action was taken following an email from NIDAL to the Paris police on November 5, which went unaddressed.

They specifically mentioned BH Nadlan, a company marketing settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, as well as the fair's provision of bonuses to newcomers settling in Judea and Samaria, the Israeli designation for the occupied West Bank.
