A coalition of lawyers, civil‑society representatives and the Competition Bureau lodged a complaint in Toronto and Montreal on Oct. 24, 2026, accusing at least four Israeli real‑estate companies of marketing West Bank properties to Canadian buyers under false pretenses about their legality.
The filing asserts that the firms, together with a Canadian marketing agency, portrayed the properties as legitimate investments, despite the land being located in the occupied West Bank where ownership is contested and the sales are illegal under Israeli law.
The complaint invokes Canadian competition law, which prohibits misleading advertising, and seeks an investigation into whether the agencies breached those rules.
