Democratic U.S. Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are planning a visit to Israel and the West Bank in the coming weeks, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have to decide whether they would be let in to the country, over the support they have voiced for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.
The Jewish Insider first reported the lawmakers' planned trip on Wednesday, noting that Omar said that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories will be the focal point of the trip: "Everything that I hear points to both sides feeling like there is still an occupation."
Israeli law allows authorities to deny entry into the country by individuals who support boycotting the country.

Why would they want to go on a tour there for optics?
keep them out
BiBi needs to tell them they have to ask permission of President Trump
Will they visit the (Pancake Bunny) bulldozer site?
Keep those anti-Semites American hating hypocrites out!!!
I would say, no, you are not allowed to enter Israel. You are an enemies of our country, and we need no more enemies within our gates.
He should let them in to visit the Holocaust museum.
hahaha, that would be awesome!
interesting
These specific 2 should be on a terrorist watch list as well as a no fly list.
If they do go, there will be armed US state dept contractors escorting them. They wont like that.
Oh, puh-LEAZE. They’re wanting nothing more than a photo op. Please don’t play into their devious hands, Bibi. NOTHING good can come from this
We're trying to get them out of ours.
I vote no. They’re just trouble.
You know there will be nothing but trouble
Let them go, they will do more damage to themselves than anyone else.
Netanyahu needs to send a clear message to the traitorous Muslim cupid stunts and tell them to go pound sand.
This would be most excellent!!!!!!
“Omar said that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories will be the focal point of the trip: “Everything that I hear points to both sides feeling like there is still an occupation”
The right answer is NO, NO, NO.
They would just engage in anti-Israel propaganda and lie a lot.
