Israel detaining 2 British lawmakers "unacceptable": Foreign Secy

London, Apr 6 (UNI) British Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned Israel's detention of two British Members of Parliament (MPs), calling it "unacceptable, counterproductive and deeply concerning."
Lammy made the remarks in a statement on Saturday night following the detention.
Abtisam Mohamed and Yuan Yang, from the governing Labour Party, were part of a parliamentary delegation to Israel.
According to British news outlet Sky News, citing a statement from Israel's Immigration Ministry, they were rejected because they were suspected of plans to "document the activities of security forces and spread anti-Israel hatred."
Lammy said he had made it clear to his counterparts in the Israeli government that "this is no way to treat British Parliamentarians."
"The UK government's focus remains on securing a return to the ceasefire and negotiations to stop the bloodshed, free the hostages and end the conflict in Gaza," he added in the statement.
According to media reports, the two MPs left Israel on Sunday and are on their way back to Britain.
