Israeli officials have decided to block U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from entering the country as part of a planned visit, a reversal that comes amid pressure from President Trump and concerns about their support for boycotts of Israel.
The country's deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely announced the decision Thursday, despite prior assurances that the congresswomen would be allowed in.
"Israel has decided - we won't enable the members of Congress to enter the country," Hotovely told public broadcaster Kan. "We won't allow those who deny our right to exist in this world to enter Israel. In principle, this is a very justified decision."
The decision confirms earlier reports that Israeli officials were leaning in that direction. Earlier Thursday, President Trump even publicly prodded Israel to stand firm in blocking Omar and Tlaib.
"It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep.Tlaib to visit," Trump tweeted Thursday morning. "They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds. Minnesota and Michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!" ...
These anti-Semitic, racist, hateful whores shouldn't be allowed to visit Israel ... hell, they shouldn't be allowed to visit Washington, D.C., either.
