Britain has expressed outrage after Israeli authorities prevented two lawmakers from entering the country in order to visit the occupied West Bank.

The killing of a Palestinian American teen by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank has sparked an outcry from relatives and community members in the Palestinian territory as well as the U.S.

The U.S. State Department said on Tuesday that it was aware of the killing by Israeli forces of a Palestinian American teenager in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and was seeking more information about the nature of what happened on the ground.
