Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - Today, Tuesday, the Israeli occupation authorities expelled the member of the European Parliament, Anna Miranda , and prevented her from entering the occupied Palestinian territories, as part of an official visit by a delegation from the European Parliament.

In a tweet on her Twitter account, Miranda wrote: "I was expelled by Israel! After several hours of waiting, since 9 pm Israel has not allowed me to enter as a member of the delegation for relations with Palestine in the European Parliament. It is almost five in the morning and I set out on the first trip to Madrid."

Member of the European Parliament Grace O'Sullivan commented, in a tweet to her on Twitter: "My colleague Anna Miranda has not been allowed to enter Israel even though she is a member of the official delegation of the European Parliament, and we received a note last week approving our visit," and she said: "This is completely unacceptable. It came after our colleague in the European Parliament, Manu Pineda, was banned."

The delegation of members of the European Parliament, headed by Margaret Okin, member of the European Parliament for relations with Palestine, will visit the Palestinian territories from 21 to 23 February. The delegation will meet tomorrow, Wednesday, with officials of the Palestinian National Authority, including Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh.
