(Reuters) – Israel has detained two British members of parliament visiting the country as part of a parliamentary delegation, British Foreign Minister David Lammy said in a statement on Saturday.
“I have made clear to my counterparts in the Israeli government that this is no way to treat British Parliamentarians, and we have been in contact with both MPs tonight to offer our support,” Lammy said.
