Who are the two MPs deported by Israel – and what have they said about the war in Gaza?
A political row erupted after news of Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed's deportation broke late on Saturday.
The Council for Arab-British Understanding (CAABU) says it organised the women's "parliamentary delegation" alongside Medical Aid for Palestinians and has been running similar trips for decades.
But Israeli officials said immigration officers found "no evidence to support the claim they were travelling as part of an official delegation" and "no politicians or government officials were aware they were coming".
The Israeli immigration ministry accused them of planning to "document the activities of the security forces and spread anti-Israel hatred".
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy described the move as "disgraceful".
Here we look at who the two Labour MPs are - and what they have said about Israel 's war in Gaza.
Yuan Yang
Yuan Yang, 35, moved to the UK from China at the age of four - and is the first China-born MP in the House of Commons.
She was a journalist before she was chosen as Labour's parliamentary candidate for the newly created constituency of Earley and Woodley in Berkshire in 2023. Her family had lived there for 14 years beforehand.
Ms Yang worked for the Financial Times as their deputy Beijing bureau chief, economics correspondent, and Europe-China correspondent. She also made regular appearances on BBC News.
She co-founded Rethinking Economics, a non-profit campaign to promote students being able to choose different schools of thought on economics.
She won her seat in the 2024 election by 18,209 votes.
Just before she was elected, in May 2024, her book, Private Revolutions, was published about four women born in China in the 1980s and 1990s coming of age in a society changed beyond recognition.
She identifies as a Quaker, has been a vocal critic of the Chinese government's 2020 Hong Kong national security law, and backed the rights of Hong Kongers in the UK.
What has she said about Israel-Gaza?
Since entering Commons for the first time in July last year - Ms Yang has only spoken on Israel-Gaza once.
On 16 January, after a ceasefire deal was declared, she called on the government to ensure journalists could continue to work safely in Gaza.
"The ceasefire deal gives families in Israel and Palestine, as well as their relatives in my constituency, hope for longer-lasting peace and security," she said.
"However, there can be no security without accountability, and there is no accountability without scrutiny. This war has been the deadliest on record for journalists, so what can the government do to ensure that all journalists in Palestine, including my former colleagues, can do their job without fear for their lives?"
On 28 February she tweeted on the same issue, claiming "many" of her former colleagues have been "repeatedly denied entry into the region".
She stressed that: "Palestinian journalists stuck in Gaza have been working in deadly conditions and fear being targeted while working. Media freedom and access is a core part of democracy, and reporters must be allowed into Gaza to be able to accurately report on the continued humanitarian situation."
She welcomed Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy's intervention on the issue.
In December, she met commissioner-general Philippe Lazzarini of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) on his visit to Parliament.

Abtisam Mohamed also entered parliament for the first time last year, winning her Sheffield Central seat with a 26.1% majority.
Having moved to the UK at the age of two, she is also the first Yemeni woman to be elected as a British MP.
She was raised in a conservative family - with traditional views on the place of women and girls. She only gained four GCSEs but after finishing school she went back to Yemen and received the qualifications to study further, qualifying as a teacher, then a lawyer.
She initially became a community worker then a solicitor, establishing her own human rights and immigration practice working.
In 2016, Mohamed became a local councillor and was selected as the Sheffield Central Labour candidate over comedian Eddie Izzard and former BBC Newsnight economics editor Paul Mason.
She is a member of the Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee.

What has she said on Israel-Gaza?
Despite only being in the Commons since July, Ms Mohamed has spoken on Israel-Gaza five times.
Most recently she gave a short speech on events in Gaza on the first day of Eid al Fitr - 30 March.
She described Israel's actions there as "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" and urged ministers to condemn them.
Ms Mohamed said the world is witnessing "forced displacement", "ethnic cleansing", "the complete destruction of Gaza", and "permanent occupation of Gaza and the West Bank".
Israel denies ethnic cleansing and says evacuation orders in Gaza are designed to protect civilians from its operations against Hamas.
On 17 February, Ms Mohamed tweeted to say she had spearheaded a cross-party call from 61 MPs for a UK ban on Israeli goods.
She said: "The ICJ's [International Court of Justice] advisory opinion has said that third party states shouldn't aid or assist Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian territory.
"Importing goods from settlements gives them legitimacy and further entrenches the occupation."
She compared the situation to the UK's ban on imports from Crimea.
Responding to Donald Trump's plans for a "Gaza riviera" in February, Ms Mohamed tweeted a clip of the president with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying: "What kind of world do we live in when the war crime of forcible displacement/ethnic cleansing is so openly discussed?"
In January she retweeted a news article about Loose Women panellist Nadia Sawalha who "questioned why the media, celebrities and influencers worldwide have not responded to events in Gaza with the same urgency as they have to the LA fires".
In January, she spoke again in the Commons to say "ethnic cleansing is taking place before our very eyes, and the world remains silent" - and to call on the government to urge Israel to allow evacuated Palestinians to return to northern Gaza.
In November last year she praised the International Criminal Court (ICC)'s decision to pursue South Africa's case against Israel for crimes against humanity, describing it as a "crucial step". Israel denies all the accusations.
On 15 October last year, she stood up in the Commons to speak on Gaza for the first time, condemning the "totally inexcusable" actions of Israel - blocking food deliveries into northern Gaza and "using starvation as a weapon of war".

British-Israeli ex hostage 'deeply saddened' by UK plan to recognise Palestinian state
British-Israeli hostages and their families are concerned by the UK's decision to recognise the state of Palestine, as ITV News Political Correspondent Carl Dinnen reports. The British-Israeli former hostage Emily Damari has said she feels "deeply saddened" by the UK's announcement on Tuesday that it will recognise the state of Palestine by September, if Israel does not take steps to end the conflict. Posting on X, Damari wrote: "As a Dual British-Israeli citizen who survived 471 days in Hamas captivity, I am deeply saddened by your decision Keir Starmer to recognise Palestinian statehood. "This move does not advance peace—it risks rewarding terror. It sends a dangerous message: that violence earns legitimacy." She continued: "Recognition under these conditions emboldens extremists and undermines any hope for genuine peace. "Shame on you." Adam Rose, a Partner at the law firm Mishcon de Reya, represented seven families of the ten people taken hostage by Hamas with ties to the UK. Writing today, he said: "British hostage families are deeply concerned that hostages have been made a bargaining chip by the UK. "We are concerned that the UK's proposal risks delaying the release of the hostages. This is because the UK has said that it will recognise a Palestinian state unless Israel agrees a ceasefire. "But the risk is that Hamas will continue to refuse to a ceasefire because if it agrees to one this would make UK recognition less likely." Speaking to ITV News, Rose clarified: "If Hamas don't release the hostages, Israel is less likely to agree a ceasefire. If Israel doesn't agree a ceasefire, the UK position appears to be they will recognise the state of Palestine." Announcing the UK's intention on Tuesday, Starmer set certain conditions Israel would need to meet to prevent the UK recognising the state of Palestine. Speaking to press, he said: "The UK will recognise the state of Palestine by the United Nations general assembly in September, unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire, and commit to a long term sustainable peace - reviving the prospect of a two-state solution. "This includes allowing the UN to restart the supply of aid and making clear that there will be no annexations in the West Bank." He then went on to reiterate the demands on Hamas, saying: "They must immediately release all of the hostages, sign up to a ceasefire, disarm, and accept that they will play no part in the government of Gaza." He concluded: "We'll make an assessment in September on how far the parties have met these steps." The lawyers representing British hostages' families have asked for clarity from number ten on whether recognition of Palestinian statehood is contingent on the release of all remaining hostages by Hamas. Whilst Downing Street have not given that assurance, they have restated their demands on Hamas remain unchanged. In recent days, the PM had faced intense pressure from political opponents, as well as those in his own party, after 255 MPs from nine seperate parties wrote a letter calling on the UK to act faster in recognising Palestine's statehood. Chair of the Foreign Affair Committee Dame Emily Thornberry described the announcement as "fantastic" and said it showed Starmer was listening to people's concerns. Calls for the UK to join France in taking this step have been growing as the humaniatrian crisis in Gaza deteriorates, with scenes Starmer himself described as "revolting." The Labour party's position has long been to recognise the state of Palestine aspart of a two-state solution, with ministers recently saying it was a question of "when not if." Although the situation in the Middle-East was high on the agenda in a meeting between Starmer and Donald Trump, the US president distanced himself from the PM's position whilst flying home from his trip to Scotland. "You could make the case that you're rewarding people, that you're rewarding Hamas if you do that and I don't think they should be rewarded," Trump said, repeating the Israeli position. He added: "I'm not in that camp to be honest." The announcement of the UK's intention to recognise Palestine came the same day as Gaza's Health Authority brought the death toll up to over 60,000 over the 21-month conflict. Last week, experts warned the remaining population of Gaza is dangerously close to starvation, something Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied before being rebuffed by both Starmer and Trump. Israel's actions in Gaza come after an attack by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed, nearly 800 of them civilians, and around 250 taken hostage. 50 hostages are thought to still be in captivity, of whom Israel believes 27 are dead. Netanyahu has previously said there are 'doubts' about the fate of several more. Responding to the UK's commitment to recognise the state of Palestine, Netanyahu posted on X: "Starmer rewards Hamas's monstrous terrorism and punishes its victims."A jihadist state on Israel's border TODAY will threaten Britain TOMORROW."Appeasement towards jihadist terrorists always fails. It will fail you too. It will not happen."

Reform voters think Corbyn is more intelligent, hardworking and honest than Starmer, new poll shows
Reform voters prefer Jeremy Corbyn to Sir Keir Starmer on almost every metric, new polling has shown. Days after Mr Corbyn launched a new political party with ex-Labour MP Zarah Sultana, the survey of 2,000 Reform voters suggests Sir Keir's attempts to see off the threat from Mr Farage's party have backfired. The poll showed that Reform voters think Mr Corbyn is more authentic, hardworking, intelligent and honest than Sir Keir – despite the former Labour leader sitting much further to the left than his successor. Sir Keir has attempted to pull his party to the right to meet the threat posed by Nigel Farage, with Labour ramping up rhetoric on migration and attempting to slash the welfare bill. The polling saw 65 per cent of Reform voters say Mr Corbyn is more authentic than Sir Keir, compared to 35 per cent who said the opposite. Meanwhile, 61 per cent of Reform voters felt Mr Corbyn understood people like them, versus just 39 per cent for Starmer. Some 64 per cent see Mr Corbyn as being more honest, versus 36 per cent who felt Sir Keir was. 62 per cent felt Mr Corbyn was stronger, versus 38 per cent for Sir Keir. Almost two-thirds (64 per cent) felt Mr Corbyn was principled, versus 36 per cent for the PM. The biggest gap between the two leaders was on making radical decisions, where Mr Corbyn had a 40 point lead after some 70 per cent said he was more likely to make radical decisions compared to just 30 per cent who backed Sir Keir. Meanwhile, when it comes to representing change there were 38 points separating the two leaders. Just 31 per cent backed Sir Keir, while 69 per cent backed Mr Corbyn. The only category where Sir Keir was seen more favourably than Mr Corbyn was on the world stage, where some 56 per cent backed the prime minister, compared to 44 per cent who backed Mr Corbyn. The poll, conducted by Merlin Strategy for Novara Media, comes amid growing concern over the direction of the government from voters on both the left and the right, with the prime minister's approval rating hitting an all time low earlier this month. Sir Keir's support among the public reached new depths of minus 43 after the £5bn welfare U-turn, according to new polling. The survey, first reported by The Sunday Times, also found that just a year after coming to power, seven in 10 voters think Sir Keir's government is at least as chaotic as the Tories' previous term. That includes one in three voters, who believe it is more so. Seeking to capitalise on the discontent with the Labour government, Mr Corbyn promised a 'new kind of political party' when he launched the as yet unnamed project with Ms Sultana last Thursday, now claiming that more than 600,000 people have signed up. When Mr Corbyn and Ms Sultana announced their new party, a Labour source said: "The electorate has twice given its verdict on a Jeremy Corbyn-led party." The polling, conducted by Merlin Strategy for Novara Media, spoke to 2,000 people between July 25 and 27. 'Reform voters' included those who said they would vote for Mr Farage's party if a general election was called tomorrow.

Thailand and Cambodia reaffirm ceasefire after China-brokered meeting in Shanghai
Thailand and Cambodia reaffirmed their shaky ceasefire after days of fighting along their border as China stepped in to negotiate with the two countries. The ceasefire reached in Malaysia was supposed to take effect at midnight on Monday, but was quickly tested. Thailand's army accused Cambodia of launching attacks in multiple areas early Tuesday, while Cambodia said there was no firing in any location. The Thai army then reported exchanges of gunfire into Wednesday morning but said there was no use of heavy artillery. 'Such act of aggression constitutes once again a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement by Cambodian forces and their apparent lack of good faith,' said Thailand's Foreign Ministry in a statement Wednesday morning. By Wednesday afternoon, however, both sides appeared to have reaffirmed their commitment to a ceasefire, with representatives appearing smiling in a photo with a Chinese vice minister Sun Weidong at a meeting in Shanghai. China's 'constructive role' The meeting involved Kung Phaok, a senior official at Cambodia's Foreign Affairs Ministry, and Jullapong Nonsrichai, executive advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Thailand. 'Cambodia and Thailand reiterated to China their commitment to the ceasefire consensus and expressed appreciation for China's positive role in de-escalating the situation,' a statement from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. China said the informal meeting was its 'latest diplomatic effort' and it was playing a 'constructive role in resolving their border dispute," according to the same statement. China's peacemaking efforts reflects its 'serious concerns' about another conflict so close to its borders, said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, a professor of international relations at Thailand's Chulalongkorn University, citing the ongoing Myanmar civil war. 'The Chinese and U.S. interests align on this, which is very rare,' he said. 'China does not want more instability in its backyard. And Trump wants to have another peacemaking win.' Others say that China's move to publicize its diplomacy was a response to the U.S. approach. 'Trump's approach of linking tariff deals to sensitivity sovereignty issues has undeniably been effective, but I doubt this will be good for the U.S in the long run,' said Tita Sanglee, an associate fellow at the ISEAS–Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore. 'China is likely to seize on this contrast to present itself as the more understanding and respectful mediator.' Alleged breach of ceasefire Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand's acting prime minister, Phumtham Wechayachai, agreed on Monday to an 'unconditional' halt in fighting, which has killed at least 41 people. The meeting was hosted by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim as annual chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. He called the ceasefire a 'vital first step towards de-escalation and the restoration of peace and security.' The ceasefire was brokered with U.S. pressure, as Trump said he would not move forward with trade agreements if the conflict continued. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington welcomed the ceasefire declaration. 'President (Donald) Trump and I are committed to an immediate cessation of violence and expect the governments of Cambodia and Thailand to fully honor their commitments to end this conflict,' Rubio said in a statement. But the Thai army said there was an attack Tuesday night in Phu Makhuea, a mountain in a disputed area next to Thaikand's Sisaket province. The Thai government separately said it has complained to Malaysia, the U.S. and China about Cambodia's alleged breach of the ceasefire agreement previously. Cambodia and Thailand have clashed in the past over their 800-kilometer (500-mile) border. The fighting began Thursday after a land mine explosion along the border wounded five Thai soldiers. Tensions had been growing since May when a Cambodian soldier was killed in a confrontation that created a diplomatic rift and roiled Thailand's domestic politics. Residents face limbo By Wednesday, there were some signs of calm along the border, with some of the more than 260,000 people displaced by the fighting returning to their homes. Still, many remain behind in evacuation shelters, uncertain of their fate. Vendor Kanchana Sukjit, 33, said she fled home near the Ta Muen Thom temple with a few belongings and her small white-colored dog Nam Khaeng, which means ice in Thai. The temple had been one of the main flashpoints in the conflict over the past week. It was the first time she had to flee home like this and she was worried as she waited for clearer instructions about what happens next. 'I'm stressed when I read the news, like when reports said they were going to fire (a long-range rocket), because my home is right next to a military camp. I was quite stressed that day because I was afraid that my home would get caught in a crossfire,' she said. ___
