The Council for Arab-British Understanding and Medical Aid for Palestinians said they had organised the delegation to Israel that included the Labour MPs.

A statement posted on the websites of both organisations said: “On arrival at Ben Gurion Airport on April 5 2025, two British MPs travelling as part of a parliamentary delegation were questioned and subsequently denied entry and deported by Israeli authorities.

“This visit was part of that long-standing programme.

“When questioned, the group was clear, open and transparent about the aims and objectives of the visit, which included visiting a range of projects run by humanitarian and development organisations operating in the West Bank.”
