"We will not permit someone who negates our right of existence in the world to enter the country," said Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely."As a matter of principle, this decision is very correct."Omar and Tlaib have previously voiced their support for the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, known as BDS. Under Israeli law, supporters of the movement can be denied entry to Israel.
“Out of respect for the U.S. Congress and the great alliance between Israel and America, we would not deny entry to any member of Congress into Israel,” Dermer told the Israeli newspaper.held consultations with members of his cabinet Wednesday about the congresswomen's upcoming visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories, a government official said in a statement earlier Thursday.
Tlaib, 43, was born in the United States but draws her roots from a Palestinian village in the West Bank where her grandmother and extended family still live. The congresswoman said she had hoped to visit her family during the trip.
We love y’all American got your back
We no w see WHITE RACEIST Israel show its true self. They bow down and kiss TRUMPs ass after his tweet.
Israel 🇮🇱 ‘s Right Wing I’s Making A Big Mistake ... US Representatives Offer Isreal The Opportunity To Overcome Obstacles ... Religion Politics Should Never Be Used To Obstruct Justice ... What Is Isreal Got To Hide ... I Spelled Israel 🇮🇱 Is Real Now Give Me A Palace In Time
I understand that representative Tiab is going anyway.
Don't change your mind Israel some people don't go to places they are not wanted unlike Trump
Because it was so good before between Israel and the Democrats
I’m proud of Israel 🇮🇱 for taking this step.
that the action taken by israel is a sighn of nonhumatarian and the haterate of israel to islam, and America is behind the issue.
At least Israel knows who trouble makers are.
Wonder how Israel would like us to stop sending money and weapons to their country. What would happen to them if we no longer backed them.
I just love realDonaldTrump just puts one foot in front of the other and never takes a step back. Steams ahead for America with all he can muster, fighting the deep state and knocking dems out of the way right and left. Watch for the TrumpTrainUSA45
Maybe these hateful women will learn to stop attacking an individual group. likely not though.
This is another reason to have trump impeached now
It’s a shame they can’t be blocked from returning.
Israel support for the lunatic president is stupid. Trump's on the way out.
Not good
Talking about hypocrisy and strange bed fellow. We have Israel who wants the world to remember the Holocaust and yet listening to the most racist president in the modern time.
Dems do nothing but whine so no biggie
Netanyaou shouldn't even worry of Democratic relations all they want to do is destroy his Country too
Disgusting!
The relationship was strained already. Dems refuse to speak up against the antisemitism & anti Israel statements these 2 women spew regularly. Let's not put out fake news about these hateful women or their party please. They cause enough trouble here. Race baters & hater all
I wouldn’t let those two anti-Semitic idiots in Israel either.
Best thing Israel has done in decades👍🏼
Israel is not seeing American Congress people that are not Republican , not white, and not of the religion they approve of as Americans. Israel wants our military backing ,our money and the backing of Trump not the American people that are not Jewish
Haha!
Maybe the two members of Congress should refrain from making negative and anti-Semitic comments about Israel?
susankey_key At Trump's request, then he slandered bother representatives in a tweet. IsraelBan
Two of the most dishonest men alive!!! Two world leaders acting like they own the countries they serve, SAD
Too bad... If I knew you wanted me dead I wouldn't visit with you either. I guess you guys just don't understand. America doesn't want to live by your rules. We don't like them. They don't make any sense to us. And they're counterproductive to peace, freedom, intolerance.
So why doesn’t the Democratic Party call out their bigotry and anti- Semitic behavior? Puzzling
Great!
mitchellreports They are not “Muslim reps”, but US Congresswomen who are Muslim as opposed to, say, Baptist or Jain.
All the hate the democrats have spewed forth at Israel, I don’t blame Israel! Shame on the democrats for all of their hate towards one of our allies!
SuezWillson When the POTUS tell a foreign leader of an ally country, who pride themselves as democracy, bar his political rivals from entering. You have to question if Israel really a democracy, and trump’s patriotism. It seems like he’s only loyal to his base over country.
Well done Israel!
Love it. Thanks Israel.
Good for Israel! Can we keep them out of the US too?
Remember Israel, one hand washes the other. Kissing a treasonous president ass will never help Israel, there will be many more presidents. Shame on you!
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Regardless of what the Ambassador may have said the PM has the final word Americans do NOT have the same rights in foreign countries as they do not here. So people GET OVER IT and perhaps if they had not been so vocal they could go on this little boondoggle
Specifically Benjamin N. And any supporters keeping two Americans, two USA representatives out of Israel, I’m praying in name of Jesus who they don’t recognize that he sends them off to Shoals.
Can we bar them too
We need to bar those 2 hags from our country as well!! Good for Israel!!
Way to go B.B. These women spew hate toward his country and people all the time.
netanyahu I recommend you ban FakeChristians Evangelicals as well, since you're banning people who are antisemitic.
Not just Netanyahu
kylegriffin1 Do we really have to ask why
Very good. Islam is a menace.
What relations could possibly be strained with antisemitic racists and bigots. Obama set the pace of democrat hate for Israel.
That's awesome.
Can anyone explain, in a satisfactory way, why these women would be out traveling instead of focusing on the problems in our country....Drain the Swamp !
Funny, now little Chucky puppet thinks he runs Israel. That's NBC
LOUISAGUIRRE These women better start supporting Israel better than they do!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD!
Should not have to put up with Muslim Democrat terrorists.
More of realDonaldTrump Racism Showing it’s Face Through Foreign Government Favors
Is Israel now racist?
How much damage can you do by “ straining relations “ with a politician who is apparently under investigation for serious crimes .I think the USA should stand up for integrity and the rights of its political representatives
They knew Israel would bar them due to their anti-Israel stance and it would cause all the ignorant to come out and condemn Israel for baring them! Actually a brilliant plan for a couple of dim-witted politicians.
BoutDamnTime
Ha ha !!
Well I guess the president gave Israel the order no to allow the U.S. congresswomen to enter the country, this shows you one more time his RACISM against Muslims and women of color. It is a shame for this country to have a president like him. 2020 is getting close, pay back time.
They need to be banned from congress. They are a danger to our freedoms and has shown the world that if you want to help destroy the USA just support the DNC they are the enemy within
1. I disagree with the decision of the government of Israel. 2. We send billions of dollars to the state of Israel. 3. Congressman should have the right to view their opinions. 4. For years I support the Jewish people and the State of Israel. And continue to do so.
netanyahu Thank you!!!!!!!!
And just exacly how much $$$ has the American taxpayers GIVEN to IsraeliPM EVERY year and how many nuclear weapons have we PROVIDED to Isreal? And being critical of Israeli obscene treatment of the Palestinians IS NOT anti-semitism.....it is HUMANE.
Like Bebe is gonna give a rat's ass about the Dems.
We need to ban them from the US also
I hope Israelis speak out. A lot of people in Israel don’t support ultra-right in their country.
Great news
2 THUMBS UP TO ISRAEL
StandWithIsrael keep the trash out. Nothing to offer but hate!
It’s time to cut Israel off the gravy train. Like, right now.
This is hideous...Trump should be removed from office.
They have to prove it was from inside. sept11th.
These two are desperate to stay relevant. This stunt was so transparent that all concerned should be embarrassed. Pelosi is probably disappointed she could not get them out of her hair for a week or two.
Well apparently they were going to Palestine and not Isreal anyway. Now if we could just ban them from here.....
Israel looks weak by their action today.
They are barely US representatives at best, let alone world diplomats! Their US status should be removed, they are overstepping their boundaries! C’mon Pelosi, get a grip on these rebels, they’re making you and our country look bad
Because trump wants this, so Netanyahu obliged. EVERY member of Congress should be absolutely appalled. Just when you think the Office of the Presidency couldn’t be any more disgraced. SMH sad
This is Democrats... not respect world wide, and their antisemetic views are being called out. KAG2020
Keep your head up ladies, whatever you're doing is working or these things wouldn't happen. Its just the powerful elite trying to 'put you in your place' because they are being called out on their constant civil injustice! Good job TheSquad
He needs to be in jail already, what's taking so long?
Trump doesn’t get the concept of the bill of rights. It’s not the speech he agrees that needs protecting. It’s the speech he doesn’t agree with that need protecting
It's a stunt and netanyahu did the right thing considering the Anti-Semitic vitriol from RashidaTlaib IlhanMN and AOC. I wouldn't say the squad are representatives of the USA with the anti American rhetoric and policy positions. 🇺🇲🇮🇱
Pretty 'dirtbag' move for a guy who is teetering on Jail Time for his corruption. Not his best move.
Perhaps they shouldn't talk trash about Israel in the first place.
DEMOCRATS in CONGRESS do NOT want a relationship with Netanyahu ! Unless it is do as I say relationship ! Democrats in Congress do NOT run Israel !
HA. HA. HA. THEY SHOULD KEEP THERE MOUTH SHUT.
Tit for tat ..cut off any isreal people from coming into america
Smart move
The only democracy in the mid east ? Ok
Good for him to not let those bigots in his country
Thank you netanyahu We appreciate your support 🇺🇸
This shows contempt to the American electorate and the will of our citizens. We cannot and should not tolerate such moves by an ally.
I wouldn't want rabid anti-semites, who want the destruction of my people and nation, coming for a visit either.
It's not like they were going to seek asylum, you know?
Back at ya haters!
Disgusting, but we’ve come to expect this sort of thing with the current resident in the White House.
Strain relations with Dems. Isn't that the purpose
If I were having a birthday party for my 13yo child and told her to invite friends..... I would not invite her 'creepy uncle' as a precaution.
Another ban on Muslims. This is not right. I think there was influence on Trump's part. Isreal should be ashamed
AS THE SERPENT OF THE DEVIL BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SAID! ISRAEL IS FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE. THE SAYINGS OF OLD THE JEWS HAVE NO DEALING WITH THE SAMARITANS. LET IT BE. ISRAEL AND IT JEWISH PEOPLE ARE THE CURSE AND EVILNESS OF THE EARTH. OVER TIME ISRAEL AND PEOPLE SHALL BE NO MORE
These two have come out against Israel . If Israel don’t want them there it’s their choice. Stop putting these two woman in the media for Non sense . They are trying to use thier position to gain entry to create problems. There are probably going there to create problems.
House Majority Leader Hoyer says the decision to deny Reps. Omar and Tlaib entry into Israel is 'outrageous, regardless of their itinerary or their views' and that 'this action is contrary to the statement and assurances to me by Israel’s ambassador to the US.'
MiddleAmericaMS Bahahaha...I've been to Israel...great country!!!
KLE1967 Netanyahu don't care about the Democrats trump has promised him a set with the Republican if they kick him and his wife out of Israel.
Thank god!! These racist women
Best news ever! These two terrorist loving antisemitics should be barred
Now let’s ban them from coming back
stinkytcat1 The Democrats hate Netanyahu regardless
Why take people in that hate you.
Protecting Israel from anti Zionists.
Here is democrats “straining”...
Sounds like some aid to a certain country needs to end then....
Netenyahu does not bow to political correctness and the American Liberal Mob. Both of those disgusting women are nasty die hard Anti Semites so that sounds like a good move to me.
chuckeythebear Let's just send Trump's fine people who shouted 'Jews will not replace us' trumphatedelegation
This is disgusting and I hope they sue Trump. Congress needs to step in and assist these women. Trump is evil
these women do not need to be there, their work is in DC for our country, now get to work ladies!
edgary1 Watch Cortez jump into battle.
Good. They were going to use visit as a political stunt. They have no business being there.
mitchellreports Well the squad Omar and Tliab they are the ones that ran their mouth and how they hate Israel they have no respect for nothing 1 runs around with a towel on her head and the other one's got a filthy mouth and shame on you for want to cover them
We Demand Action ...Impeach or 25th him.
wolfjon4 Ya think?
Good... why would Israel want the modern day equivalent of Nazis and the Grand Mufti in their country.... no matter what their political position?
mitchellreports It’s Ok for them to hate Jews- but not Ok for Jews to hate them?
Does Israel really think that the Democrats will forget this?
American Democrats should bar themselves from Israel as well as Democratic Party leaders. This is Trump America. His words has divided this Country with Israel which makes Arab Nations celebrate. Bad move for Israel because realDonaldTrump won’t be President forever.
At this point Israel is nothing but an apartheid state. They are South Africa 2.0.
Oh my God. This is so wrong. Get rid of Trump NOW!
Pull all aid from Israel and label them a terrorist organization.
What a shame
Obama should be proud of his girls.
I don't think BiBi will lose any sleep over strained relationships with Democrats. Trump certainly doesn't lose sleep over them.
If you energetically lobby for violence against me and my family, I likely won't invite you into our home. I don't blame Israel.
Good’
Coward wannabe alphamen.
mitchellreports Why allow haters into your home?
realDonaldTrump Israel just restricted two American citizens from traveling because they are POC, women, Muslim, Demarcates, you could be next.
Doesn’t this decision by the Israeli government lend credence to their argument that Israel doesn’t tolerate opposing points of view?
Maybe we should stop sending our Tax dollars to Israel as they disrespect an American’s right to protest injustice .. IsraelinUSA IsraeliPM Netanyahu is as much a criminal as Trump AIPAC SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi HouseDemocrats SenateDems
Strain the relationship with the democrats? The squad already destroyed the relationship with Israel. All four are an embarrassment.
Those ladies are sooooo gross! take em please! send them back
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
They should be banned from this country. They aren’t interested in serving only dividing
SpeakerPelosi still waiting for you to lead & call for impeachment. How much more will it take for Democrats to DO SOMETHING.
Israel and Netanyahu did the right thing, regardless of what the Dems say. These squad bigots wanted to be allowed into Israel so they could meet with the PA and have a grand photo-op promoting BDS.
If they can ban Israel, Israel can ban them. (I don’t agree with either, but that’s a different matter...)
Israels govt just shamed the entire population of Israel
RJGrandma Time to take a look at money we give to Israel.
Probably won’t strain relations with the democrats anymore than Obama did. Nothing lost here. Their own actions and statements led to the ban. No one to blame but themselves.
Stop giving money to Israel
We're now FAR past the 'abuse of powers' benchmark for Impeachment. ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
Wow
Question is, did Israel do this because Trump told them to do it?
I have a feeling Trump is behind this nonsense. Apparently he doesn’t drive people to go kill others with his words. Can Netanyahu be banned from entering the U.S ?
kylegriffin1 Where are the Republican calls to cut off aid to any country that disrespects our elected leaders? IstandWithIlhan
nbcbayarea Unreal.
Yikes, Israel. Talk about biting the hand that feeds.
Not ok!
edgary1 Why would you allow anti-Semitic Politicians into Israel especially members of the Jihad Squad! Let them visit with their Hamas brothers in Palestine!
No nation should be forced to admit people into its country who want to see it destroyed Omar and Tlaib both support the anti-Semitic BDS movement, which is designed to destroy Israel
kylegriffin1 No money for Israel.
A wise decision!
They must not like racist in Israel.
It's going to be rough for Israel when the Dems are in full power in just over a year.
kylegriffin1 Yes, assuming the antisemitism from recent Democrats wasn't already straining relations.
It’s time to cut Israel loose and let them fend for themselves.
kylegriffin1 With Trump’s encouragement. Huh. First he didn’t want to let Muslims in, and now he doesn’t want to let them out.
kylegriffin1 So it's official. PM Netanyahu is a Trumpford wife. SAD!
kylegriffin1 iSrAeL iSnT aN aPaRtHeId StAtE
The Democrats tried to get him thrown out of office
They should be barred. They are not who they pretend to be. Time will show this to be true....
that’s not a way to get them to see your perspectives. Netanyahu
They are anti-Semitic, and you expect the Israelis to welcome them with open arms
They listened to cheetoh in chief, LIAR in Chief.
Who'd want those two in their country? Oh, I forgot....they are in America. Grrrrr.
Good!
kylegriffin1 And the Tangerine Menace says this. About duly elected members of Congress. ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
kylegriffin1 This is Trump’s fault
No more foriegn aid!!!!!
DontBeLikeTrump
kylegriffin1 Corrupt racists gonna stick together
Trump: They hate all Jewish people! Let lightning strike me if I’m a ly-
kylegriffin1 Gop members shouldn’t go
Good
What a disgrace. Trump and Netanyahu are two thin skinned peas in a pod.
What the Back Door is this all about?
Apparently Israel isn't a democracy after all but I guess neither is America right now! shameful
