British MPs Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed were detained and deported by Israel, causing concern from UK foreign secretary David Lammy. The MPs, part of a parliamentary delegation, were turned away under suspicion of intending to document Israeli security forces' activities. Lammy described Israel's actions as deeply concerning and stated that it undermines the treatment of British parliamentarians. This incident reflects ongoing tensions, as it follows a controversial incident where Palestinian medics were killed by Israeli forces, contradicting official claims, intensifying scrutiny on Israeli military actions during the conflict in Gaza.
Last year, Israel declared United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres undesirable, prohibiting him from entering the country.
Labour MPs Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed were rejected because they were suspected of plans to document activities of security forces and spread anti-Israel hatred.
David Lammy stated, 'This is no way to treat British parliamentarians,' expressing concern over the detention of the MPs.
The detention comes amid backlash over a video showing the shooting of Palestinian medics by Israeli forces, contradicting official claims.
