UK Lawmakers Decry 'Open Prison' Conditions in West Bank, Demand Sanctions on Israel After Fact-Finding Mission
Two British MPs described the West Bank as an "open prison" after witnessing armed settler violence and systemic oppression during their fact-finding mission. One MP was detained by Israeli authorities upon arrival. They urged the UK to recognize Palestine and impose sanctions on Israel, citing 950+ Palestinian deaths in the West Bank since October and Gaza's "inhumane" blockade.
