PrintPlanned British embassy move protested
Pro-Palestinian groups want to stop the British government from moving its Israel embassy to property owned by Lev Leviev.

Similar lobbying recently led UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, to sever ties with Leviev, a major New York-based philanthropist.
