Palestine 🇵🇸

⭕️ Irish MEP Sinn Féin’s Lynn Boylan, who chairs the European Parliament’s delegation for relations with Palestine, was denied entry into Palestine by Israel on Monday.

Detained at Ben Gurion Airport along with French MEP Rima Hassan and two senior civil servants, the four-person group was on an official mission to monitor EU policies, support dialogue, and oversee EU funds in Palestine. They remained in East Jerusalem until Thursday.

Boylan said they were held for nearly two hours without explanation and described the move as an "insult to all members of the EU." Notably, her Irish diplomatic passport was held and not returned until she returned to Belgium.

She expressed concerns about Israel’s handling of her personal data after her phone and tablet were seized, and dismissed suggestions that her support for BDS was the reason for the incident, noting that if so, they had months to refuse her admission.
