Israel Prevents Congresswomen<br />From Entering Country.<br />Democratic congresswomen<br />Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib<br />were recently barred from<br />entering Israel on Aug. 15. .<br />Omar and Tlaib are the first two Muslim<br />women to be elected to Congress and have<br />been vocal in their criticisms of Israel.<br />The two women were planning to visit<br />multiple sites in the country including Hebron,<br />East Jerusalem and the Al Aqsa Mosque.<br />The decision was announced by Israel’s<br />deputy foreign minister, Tzipi Hotovely.<br />Israel has decided — we won’t enable the<br />members of Congress to enter the country…<br />We won’t allow those who deny our right to<br />exist in this world to enter Israel. In principle,<br />this is a very justified decision, Tzipi Hotovely, via Fox News.<br />It was made just hours after President<br />Donald Trump publicly called for<br />Omar and Tlaib to be denied entry. .<br />It would show great weakness if Israel allowed<br />Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib to visit. They hate<br />Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing<br />that can be said or done to change their<br />minds….They are a disgrace!, Donald Trump, via Twitter
