One of Israel’s harshest critics in the US Congress, Democrats Rashid Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, have previously expressed their support for the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Investment Waiver and Sanctions movement. In response, the Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister said that the two Congressmen are not allowed to enter Israel.

Tlaib and Omar also planned to visit the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The official dates of the trip were not announced, but a source familiar with the details of the planned visit said that it could take place next weekend.

Tlaib and Omar, the first Muslim women elected to Congress and members of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, have expressed support for the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

Under Israeli law, supporters of the movement may be denied entry to Israel.

“There is a chance that Israel will not allow this visit. Specialists and lawyers in government ministries continue to study materials, ”a representative of the Israeli government said.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel will consider whether, for humanitarian reasons, allow Tlaib to visit relatives if she asks for it.

As ForumDaily wrote earlier:

  • Ilkhan Omar described those in the United States who support Israel as “loyal to a foreign state.” Earlier, she provoked the ire of representatives of both parties, expressing doubts about the financial power of the American-Israeli Committee on Public Relations. “It's all about the children of Benjamin,” Omar tweeted, referring to the portrait of Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States, depicted on the 100 dollar bill.
  • According to many Democratic legislators, Omar’s remarks were anti-Semitic and unacceptable in the framework of US political discussions. They demanded exclude Ilhan Omar from the committee The House of Representatives for Foreign Affairs due to its anti-Semitic rhetoric.
  • She then apologized and joined in voting for a resolution condemning anti-Semitism, which ultimately was accepted.
