Simon Opher and Peter Prinsley said they were prevented from witnessing the “grave challenges” facing healthcare in ”the occupied West Bank.”
Two lawmakers representing the United Kingdom’s Labour Party in the House of Commons said they were denied entry to Israel on Monday.
Simon Opher and Peter Prinsley told the BBC that they intended to visit Judea and Samaria, which they called “the occupied West Bank.”
The pair had planned to observe medical and humanitarian projects run by aid groups, according to the report. In a joint statement, they called the decision by Israeli authorities “deeply regrettable,” saying it prevented them from witnessing the “grave challenges” facing healthcare in the region.
