Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned Israel for detaining and deporting two UK lawmakers, calling it “unacceptable.” MPs Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed were blocked from entering Israel and sent back to London. Israel claimed the MPs falsely presented their trip as an official visit and intended to criticize Israeli forces. The lawmakers denied this and called Israel’s actions "unprecedented." The incident has sparked political tension in the UK. Lammy urged Israel to respect diplomatic ties, while opposition leader Kemi Badenoch defended Israel’s decision. The UK government remains focused on ending the conflict in Gaza. (PC: Getty Images)
