On April 5, 2025, British Labour MPs Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed were detained at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport and deported by Israeli authorities. The two were part of a UK parliamentary delegation intending to visit the occupied Palestinian territories. Israel claimed the MPs aimed to document Israeli military actions and promote “anti-Israel hatred.” UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned the move, calling it “deeply concerning” and a blow to democratic engagement. The incident has intensified diplomatic tensions between the UK and Israel amid the ongoing Gaza conflict and humanitarian crisis. (PC: Reuters)
