Several hours after Israel blocked entry to Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the first two Muslim women to be elected to the U.S. Congress, Rep. Omar made the Israeli case why she should not be allowed to enter their country, as the posted a statement attacking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Trump’s Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing,” Omar wrote.
Israeli officials say that the whole purpose of Omar’s trip was to promote the anti-Israel BDS movement on Israeli soil.
