Two British MPs from the Labour Party were detained by Israeli authorities during a visit to the country as part of a parliamentary delegation.
Israeli security forces arrested two Members of Parliament (MPs) from the United Kingdom while they were in Israel as part of an official delegation. The MPs, Euan Young and Abtisam Mohamed of the Labour Party, were reportedly detained for allegedly documenting Israeli military activities and spreading anti-Israel rhetoric.
The British Foreign Minister, David Lammy, confirmed the detention in a statement issued on Saturday evening, as reported by The Guardian. The MPs’ visit was part of a parliamentary delegation to the region, but their actions were said to have raised concerns with Israeli authorities.
The detentions have sparked a wave of criticism, with political leaders urging the Israeli government to release the MPs immediately. The incident underscores the tensions surrounding international scrutiny of Israeli actions in the region.
