“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.
