UK Government Boycotts Leviev over settlement construction

Abstract: 

The government of the United Kingdom has decided to boycott Israeli diamond and real estate mogul Lev Leviev over his companies’ construction of Israeli settlements on Palestinian land in the Occupied West Bank. The decision followed a coordinated advocacy campaign by human rights advocates, including Adalah-NY, in New York, the UK, Palestine and Israel demanding that the UK government end plans to rent the new UK Embassy in Tel Aviv from Leviev’s company Africa-Israel.
