Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib Barred From Entering Israel Following Pressure From Trump Over their support for the BDS Movement. It was reported initially that the far left progressive Democrats would be allowed to enter Israel but following pressure from President Trump it seems that the interior minister of Israel has refused entry. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement explaining the decision and expressing support. Israel has a law that allows the country to deny entry to anyone who supporters the Boycott, Divestment, And Sanctions movement as it causes harm to Israel. They criticized Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib for negating their 'right of existence.' Recently Israel welcomed 70 democratic and republican members of congress but singled out the far left democrats for writing 'palestine' as their destination and planning to meet Pro BDS individuals. Donald Trump tweeted that Israel would appear weak if it allowed them in and specifically criticized the two as hating Israel and the Jewish people.
