Israel detained British members in Parliament on Saturday and banned them from entering the country in a move described by the UK’s foreign minister as “unacceptable, opposite and reproductive.”

David Lami criticized the treatment of the Israeli authorities to the representatives of the Labor Party – Yuan Yang and Ibtisam Muhammad – who said he landed in Israel “a parliamentary delegation.”

“I explained to my Israeli government counterparts that this is not a way to address British parliamentarians, and we were in contact with both deputies … to provide our support,” he said.

The Ministry of Immigration in Israel said it had no record of a parliamentary visit, and he claimed that politicians and their assistants had refused to enter the country because they were intending to “document the activities of the security forces and spread hate speech against Israel.”

In a joint statement, Yang – a former Valis Times journalist – said that they were planning to visit humanitarian relief projects and societies in the occupied West Bank and “amazed” in the decision of the Israeli authorities to prevent them from entering.

They said: “It is important for parliamentarians to see the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories.”

“We are the first degree of deputies who have spoken in Parliament in recent months on the Israeli conflict, and the importance of compliance with international humanitarian law. Parliamentarians must feel the freedom to speak honestly in the House of Commons without fear of targeting them.”

The incident also sparked a local political spit, after the opposition Conservative Party leader Kimi Badnosh threw its support behind the actions of the Israeli government.

“The countries must be able to control their borders,” BBNOST said. “What I think is shocking is that we have deputies in the Labor Party who will not allow other countries. I think this is very important.”

Israel’s novel was martyred that it does not believe that the deputies “will comply with their laws,” adding: “Do not enjoy diplomatic immunity deputies.”

Lammy returned to X, saying: “It is a shameful thing you are encouraging
Another country to detain and deport two British deputies. Are you
Say the same thing about the prohibited conservative Party deputies from China? “

The liberal democratic leader, Sir Ad Davi Yazan, was accused of Badnouch of “incredibly bad judgment” for her statements.

In February, a delegation of members of Parliament in the European Union canceled a trip to Jerusalem and Ramallah after Israel prevented MEPS and two employees from entering, accusing a member of the European Parliament to promote provinces in the country.

Since 2017, Israeli legislation allowed the border authorities to grant the entry of non -Israeli citizens who called for the boycott of Israel.

The law was expanded this year to allow people who denied the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 on Israel, or expressed support for the prosecution of Israeli soldiers.

Mrs. Emily Thornbari, head of the work of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons, said that the treatment of UK deputies was “highly advised” and “insulting” to Britain and its parliament.

BBC told that Israel “will” today do so to British parliamentarians, “adding that the PPE” will be “potential leaders” in the future.

She added: “They are very respectful parliamentarians, and Israel is strongly advised to try to alienate them, humiliate them, and treat them in this way because people listen to what these two young women say, and they will do for decades to come.”

Thornberry urged Israel to “start making friendships instead of alienating people” and be open to scrutiny.
