Israeli immigration officials denied entry to two British parliamentarians, Joan Young and Abtisam Mohamed, and their two aides upon arrival at Ben Gurion Airport on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. from Luton, UK. The MPs claimed they were part of an official parliamentary delegation, but Israeli authorities confirmed no such mission was recognized. During questioning, officials determined their stated purpose — to document Israeli security forces and spread hate speech against the state — violated entry criteria. Interior Minister Moshe Arbel ordered their immediate deportation under Israeli law, citing national security concerns. “Given the findings, we cannot allow individuals intending to harm Israel’s reputation or security to enter,” Arbel said.
