British airline Jet2.com has cancelled the tickets of three women from Manchester planning to travel to Israel on Sunday to take part in the pro-Palestinian “flytilla” protest, The Guardian reported.

According to the report, the low-cost airline relented to Israel’s request to refuse the women service. “It never crossed my mind that Israel could stop people with British passports leaving British airports,” one of the women, Norma Turner, told the Guardian. (Ynet)
