Israel denied entry to two MEPs, Lynn Boylan and Rima Hassan, at Ben-Gurion Airport, citing Hassan's advocacy for boycotts against Israel. Boylan planned to meet Palestinian officials and condemned Israel's actions as a sign of disregard for international law. The expulsion follows new legislation restricting entry for those denying Hamas' attacks or supporting prosecution of Israeli soldiers. Critics argue this law suppresses dissent, particularly against the BDS movement, which Israel claims undermines its legitimacy.
