Overview

  • Labour MPs Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed were denied entry to Israel and deported on Saturday after arriving as part of a parliamentary delegation.
  • The Israeli immigration ministry accused the MPs of planning to document security forces' activities and spread anti-Israel narratives.
  • UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy criticized the decision, stating it was deeply concerning and no way to treat British parliamentarians.
  • The Israeli embassy in the UK defended the move, claiming the MPs' visit was intended to provoke and spread misinformation about Israel.
  • This incident occurs against the backdrop of escalating violence in Gaza following the breakdown of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas last month.
