Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has supported Israel's right to refuse entry to two Labour MPs who were detained and deported after travelling to Israel. The MPs claimed they were part of a parliamentary delegation and planned to visit charity projects and communities in the West Bank. Badenoch declined to express anger at Israel's actions, stating that countries should be able to control their borders. Senior Labour MP Emily Thornberry criticized Badenoch's stance, calling it an insult to Britain and Parliament. The MPs have received messages of support from other parliamentarians.
