LONDON: A senior UK government minister has criticized the “shameful” treatment of two British MPs after they were blocked from entering the occupied West Bank. Simon Opher and Peter Prinsley, who are both doctors, were part of a delegation traveling to the territory to witness medical and humanitarian work. They were stopped by Israeli authorities on Monday as they tried to enter from Jordan. “I find the treatment of two highly respected clinicians and members of parliament by the Israeli government shameful, but no longer surprising,” said Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
