Two Labour MPs have been denied entry and deported from Israel after being accused of plotting to “document the activities of security forces and spread anti-Israel hatred”. <\/p>\n

Earley & Woodley MP Yuan Yang and Sheffield Central MP Abtisam Mohamed flew from Luton to Israel on Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Israeli Embassy in the UK claimed the pair were denied entry to Israel “after accusing Israel of false claims, calling for a boycott, spreading lies, and actively promoting sanctions against Israeli ministers while supporting campaigns aimed at boycotting the State of Israel”.<\/p>\n

The statement added: “The visit was intended to provoke, harm Israeli citizens, and spread falsehoods about them.<\/p>\n

“It is Israel’s responsibility to prevent the entry of such individuals (just as is the practice in the United Kingdom).”<\/p>\n

Israeli’s migration ministry also claimed Yang and Mohamed were accompanied by two assistants. <\/p>\n

During questioning, the MPs claimed they were visiting Israel “as part of an official parliamentary delegation”.<\/p>\n

However, Foreign Secretary David Lammy responded to the MPs’s detention by labelling the Israeli Government’s action was “unacceptable, counterproductive, and deeply concerning”.<\/p>\n
