“Foreign Secretary David Lammy has criticised Israeli authorities for denying two Labour MPs entry to the country and detaining them. He described the move as ‘unacceptable, counterproductive, and deeply concerning,’ adding that the foreign office had been in touch with both MPs to offer support. Abtisam Mohamed and Yuan Yang were refused entry because they intended to spread ‘hateful rhetoric’ against Israel, the Israeli population and immigration authority said in a statement reported by Israeli media. Lammy said: ‘I have made clear to my counterparts in the Israeli government that this is no way to treat British Parliamentarians.’ Ms Yang, MP for Earley and Woodley, and Ms Mohamed, MP for Sheffield Central, flew to the country from Luton airport on Saturday with two aides, according to reports.” (04/06/25)
