MPs and MSP detained by Israel and barred from entering West Bank

Lewis, who represents Norwich South, said the group had been “made to feel as though they had done something wrong” in a post on X.

He added: “We knew that by crossing into the occupied Palestinian territories, we risked being detained, interrogated and turned away by Israeli authorities. And that, alas, is exactly what happened.

“The simple truth is we had done nothing wrong. We went to show our support for the Palestinian people and highlight the terrible injustice and violence being perpetrated against them.”

Nevens described the experience as “frightening” but added that the group was able to “leave safely”.

She said: “What we experienced was only a small fraction of the terrifying reality Palestinians face when they try to cross the same border to reach their families or simply go about their lives.”
