London/Jerusalem – A diplomatic row has erupted between the United Kingdom and Israel after two British Members of Parliament were detained and denied entry upon their arrival at Ben Gurion Airport. The incident has drawn strong condemnation from the UK government, which described the treatment of its MPs as “unacceptable.”
The MPs were reportedly on a fact-finding mission to the Palestinian territories when they were stopped by Israeli security officials. Details surrounding the detention remain unclear, but it is understood that they were held for several hours before being turned away and forced to return to the UK.
The British Foreign Office has expressed its deep concern over the incident, stating that the MPs were traveling on official business and that their treatment was a serious breach of diplomatic protocol. “We are seeking urgent clarification from the Israeli authorities regarding the reasons for this unacceptable action,” a spokesperson said.
The incident has sparked outrage among UK politicians, with many calling for a full investigation. Critics argue that the denial of entry represents an attempt to silence dissenting voices and restrict access to information about the situation in the Palestinian territories.
Israeli authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident. However, sources suggest that the MPs were deemed to pose a security risk.
The incident is likely to further strain relations between the UK and Israel, which have been under scrutiny in recent times due to differing stances on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
