"Deeply Concerning": Israel Denies Entry to Two British Lawmakers on Parliamentary Delegation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
