Iain Dale kicks guest off his show after a tense debate | LBC

Two Labour MPs who were denied entry to Israel and deported have said they are "astounded" by the decision.

Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed were rejected because they were suspected of plans to "document the activities of security forces and spread anti-Israel hatred", according to a statement from the Israeli immigration ministry.

Ms Yang, who represents Earley and Woodley, and Ms Mohamed, the MP for Sheffield Central, both flew to the country from Luton on Saturday.

Sharing a statement following the incident, the pair said it is "vital" that parliamentarians are able to "witness first-hand" the situation on the ground in Palestine.

It comes after Foreign Secretary, David Lammy said it was "deeply concerning" that they had not been allowed into the country.

Now, Iain Dale is joined by Natasha Hausdorff, international lawyer and legal director of the UK Lawyers for Israel Charitable Trust.
