Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“Deeply Concerning”: Israel Denies Entry to Two British Lawmakers on Parliamentary Delegation

HeadlineApr 07, 2025

The U.K.'s foreign secretary condemned Israel's refusal to allow entry to two members of the British Parliament as “unacceptable, counterproductive, and deeply concerning.” The two Labour lawmakers, Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed, arrived back in London after being deported from Israel Sunday. They had been planning to visit aid projects in the occupied West Bank as part of a parliamentary delegation. Israel accused the lawmakers of planning to document Israeli security forces and supporting boycotts and sanctions against Israel and Israeli officials.
