It's alleged that two Israeli nationals experienced discriminatory treatment by Border Force officers at Manchester Airport on Sunday, 23 March.

Home Secretary James Cleverly announced the probe in response to a call from the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester and Region to investigate the allegations.They came to the UK to raise awareness for a non-profit organisation they founded to help survivors of terror attacks, the council said.

"They responded that as survivors of the Nova Music Festival, they had been invited to share their experiences with the Jewish community in Manchester."The only reason for their detention and interrogation was because they are Israeli."The council said they were detained for two hours, and that it was in possession of a video showing a male officer "speaking in aggressive terms" and in a "demeaning" tone to the two men.

The Jewish Representative Council had tweeted Granada Reports, writing: "We have been made aware that survivors of the 7th October terrorist attack on the Re’Im Music Festival were discriminated against by @UKBorder when arriving @manairport.
