DEPORTATION OF GLOUCESTER RESIDENTS ON ARRIVAL IN ISRAEL

That this House views with concern the Israeli government's decision to refuse entry on arrival in Israel of the Friendship Caf Group, visiting Israel as part of an interfaith visit by Gloucester residents; expresses its concern that groups like this, containing Muslim, Christian and those with Jewish roots on an harmonious visit should be refused entry without explanation and after rude and aggressive questioning by Israeli entry clearance staff; calls on the Foreign Secretary to take the matter up with the Israeli Embassy; and urges him to encourage interfaith visits to Israel which can enhance and improve relations between countries and their faiths.
