Israel Deports Two British MPs for Criticizing Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv: Two MPs from Britain's Labour Party have been denied entry to Israel and deported over what the regime has labeled as spreading 'anti-Israel hatred.' Ms. Yang, who represents Earley and Woodley, and Ms. Mohamed, the MP for Sheffield Central, were rejected and deported on Saturday, according to a statement from the Israeli immigration ministry.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the ministry accused them of documenting the activities of security forces and 'spreading anti-Israel hatred.' The MPs stated during questioning that they were visiting Israel as part of an official parliamentary delegation. However, the ministry dismissed their remarks as 'unacceptable.'

Meanwhile, Israel's embassy in Britain asserted that the MPs were deported 'after accusing Israel of false claims, . actively promoting sanctions against Israeli ministers while supporting campaigns aimed at boycotting' Israel. The British government swiftly responded to the deportation of the MPs.

"It is unacceptable, counterproductive, and deeply concerning that two British MPs on a parliamentary delegation to Israel have been detained and refused entry by the Israeli authorities," Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated to Sky News. Lammy emphasized that he had communicated to his Israeli counterparts that 'this is no way to treat British parliamentarians.'

Despite this incident, Lammy noted that the British government's focus remains on securing a return to the ceasefire in Gaza and the release of prisoners.
