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. However, the Foreign Ministry has the authority to recommend to the Strategic Affairs Ministry and the Interior Ministry issuing waivers for political or diplomatic figures, if it deems denying them entry would harm Israel's foreign relations.

I can see the PLO causing them to become martyrs.
I wouldn’t let them in. They’re openly hostile.
And when they stir violence and an Israeli gets hurt or killed...?
Security Risk. No. Plus they hate Israel.
If they’re allowed to go I would love to see someone milkshake challenge them both!!!
Stand up to these racist twats and tell them ‘no’.
Want to read: Visa Denied.
Mebbe Trump will cancel their flight like he did last time. Remember that one where the Dems were left sitting on a USAF bus at the capitol?
How about Bibi says no, but Trump intervenes to ask Bibi to let them visit? The possibilities are pretty hilarious.
Why would they want to go? Solidarity with the Pali’s?
ROFL OMG that is wacist LOL
I understand the impulse, but I wouldn’t be too pleased at any country that refused to allow a congressperson entry.These bitches aren't just any Congresspersons. Do you even know what they've said about Israel and Juuus?
You want to side with them and they'd just as soon see your head lopped off...Unless of course you are of like mind.
That would be amazing. Trump could make them look even more absurd than they already do.
Sounds like a major waste of my tax dollars.
Mr. Prime Minister, please do NOT allow these jew hating, Israel hating worthless scumbags into your wonderful country!
They are a security threat.
Let em in, take their passports, send em to Gaza~!
Let them in and then disappear them permanently.
“Kick ‘em out!”
No chance.
