April 5 (Reuters) - Israel has detained two British members of parliament and refused entry to the officials who were visiting as part of a parliamentary delegation, British Foreign Minister David Lammy said in a statement late on Saturday.
Sky News, citing a statement from the Israeli immigration ministry, says that the detained parliamentarians are Labour MPs Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed, who were rejected because they were suspected of plans to “document the activities of security forces and spread anti-Israel hatred.”
“I have made clear to my counterparts in the Israeli government that this is no way to treat British Parliamentarians, and we have been in contact with both MPs tonight to offer our support,” Lammy said.
Thats fine, the civilized world should not let Israelis travel freely then if thats their governments actions.
Israel gets around this by stealing New Zealand passports.
Countdown to the UK government apologizing to Israel over this in 5… 4… 3…
What other country could get away with this you have to wonder. Like if Jordan had done this what would happen? If it was Eritrea? Chad? Would any of them be able to do this with impunity?
There is a reason why Israel is not allowing any international media to enter Gaza or the West Bank. They simply want to control the narrative there.
They are also against any independent international investigations and so far none of their investigations have led to effective sentences.
