UK Foreign Secretary Criticizes Israel Over Detention of Two Labour MPs
The UK Foreign Secretary has publicly criticized Israel for detaining two Labour MPs, Layla Moran and Andy McDonald, at the border. The incident, which occurred on April 5, 2025, has sparked a diplomatic row between the UK and Israel. The MPs were reportedly on a fact-finding mission to assess the situation in the region when they were denied entry and detained for several hours before being sent back to the UK.
The Foreign Secretary expressed deep concern over the treatment of the MPs, calling it 'unacceptable' and demanding an explanation from Israeli authorities. The incident has raised questions about the freedom of movement for international parliamentarians and the broader implications for UK-Israel relations.
Both MPs have been vocal critics of certain Israeli policies, which may have contributed to their detention. The Labour Party has condemned the actions of the Israeli government and is calling for a formal apology and assurances that such incidents will not happen again.
