Tensions have escalated between the UK and Israel after two Labour MPs, Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed, were denied entry into Israel en route to the occupied West Bank. The British government, including Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, condemned the move as 'unacceptable' and 'deeply concerning.' The incident has sparked political infighting in the UK, with Labour accusing the Conservative Party of playing 'petty party politics' over the issue. The Israeli government has defended its decision, citing security concerns. The diplomatic fallout highlights growing strains in UK-Israel relations amid heightened scrutiny of Israeli policies in the West Bank.
