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."

Absolutely.
Any chance to moderate them just a bit, take it.”
Fat chance — they like the way they are and so do their handlers.
They cannot come in. Israeli Law states it. Up to PM to grant an exception for them to come in.
So he isn’t singling them out to keep out.
POTUS should revoke their passports when they leave.

State needs to revoke Ilhan’s diplomatic passport while they investigate the fraud surrounding her brother/husband citizenship and crimes associated with it.
