A British parliamentary delegation was detained by Israeli forces and barred from entering the West Bank, according to Al Jazeera English. The lawmakers characterized the incident as evidence of systematic state policy rather than isolated actions by individual settlers.
The detention follows rising friction between Britain's parliament and Israeli authorities. The MPs argue that the UK government should impose sanctions on Israel itself, not merely on Israeli settlers, in response to what they describe as coordinated state violence.
