During a formal visit by a delegation from the European Parliament, the IOF prevented Ana Miranda, a deputy for the European Parliament, from entering the occupied Palestinian territories.

"After waiting for hours, Israel expelled me and refused to let me join the delegation for relations with Palestine in the European Parliament. The adopted procedures represented a diplomatic insult to and disrespect for the European Union's legislative body.” In a tweet, Ana Miranda wrote.

The European Union expressed disappointment at the suspension and subsequent expulsion of a Spanish deputy in the European Parliament who had been to the Palestinian territories on official business.
