Israeli officials are reevaluating the decision to allow Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib to enter the country next week
JERUSALEM — Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was holding consultations with senior ministers and aides on Thursday to reevaluate the decision to allow two Democratic congresswomen to enter the country next week.
Last month, Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer said Israel would not deny entry to any member of Congress. Tlaib and Omar have been the target of repeated attacks by President Donald Trump in recent months, including a series of racist tweets on July 14 in which he said they should “go back” to the “broken” countries they came from. Both are U.S. citizens and Tlaib was born in the United States. The two are members of the so-called “Squad” of newly-elected left-wing Democratic representatives, along with Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
