Badenoch defends Israel over refusal to admit Labour MPs

ODN

Kemi Badenoch has defended Israel’s decision to block two Labour MPs from entering, saying “every country should be allowed to police its borders.” She said that being an MP “does not give you diplomatic immunity” and warned against criticising Israel for enforcing its laws, saying the UK should “set that precedent” if it wants to do the same.

00:00I think every country should be allowed to police its borders and they have laws which they felt

00:06that people coming in would not be abiding by. We do the same in the UK. Just because you're

00:11members of parliament in one country does not give you diplomatic immunity to enter another country

00:16and I believe that we need to make sure that we set that precedent so that when the reverse

00:21happens and we want to keep people out of our country we haven't got examples of criticising

00:26others who have done the same thing.
