The political tension between Labour and the Conservative Party escalated after Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch defended Israel's decision to deport two Labour MPs, Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed, who were part of a delegation to assess humanitarian projects. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned the expulsion and questioned Badenoch's endorsement of Israel's border control. Despite backlash from Labour and Liberal Democrats, Badenoch maintained her stance, arguing that Israel, as a democracy, has the right to control its borders, which sparked further debate on parliamentary freedoms and international relations.
Kemi Badenoch remarked, "I think that every country should be able to control its borders... I respect that decision" regarding the expulsion of two Labour MPs from Israel.
David Lammy criticized Badenoch's support for Israel's actions, stating, "It's disgraceful you are cheerleading another country for detaining and deporting two British MPs" and emphasized the rights of MPs.
