'Unacceptable': Israel Detains 2 UK MPs, Deports Them To Britain

Britain's Foreign Secretary David Lammy said on Saturday it was "unacceptable" that Israel had detained two UK lawmakers and denied them entry.

Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed, from the governing Labour Party, flew from London to Israel but were blocked from entering the country and deported, British media reported.

"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," Lammy said in a statement.
