It has been reported that Israel has denied entry to British Labour Party MPs Abtisam Mohamed and Yuan Yang.
According to a report by The Times of Israel, the plane carrying Mohamed, Yang, and two of their aides landed at Ben Gurion Airport yesterday at 14:30. It was reported that during questioning at the airport, the pair stated they were on an official visit to Israel representing the British Parliament.
However, the Israeli Interior Ministry claimed that no such official delegation had arrived from the UK and blocked the entry of Mohamed, Yang, and their two aides.
