Trump urges Israel to bar Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib: ‘They hate all Jewish people’
.
Donald Trump has urged Israel to follow through on its apparent decision to bar Democratic congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from visiting the country.
The US president’s comments come following reports in Israeli media that Interior minister Arye Deri had decided not to give the two congresswomen permission to enter the country, in accordance with a 2017 law allowing the government to bar people from entering Israel if they had previously supported boycotts against the nation.
“It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep Omar and Rep Tlaib to visit,” Mr Trump tweeted on Thursday morning. “They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds.”
He continued: “Minnesota and Michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!”
Mr Trump’s attack on the two women comes amid an ongoing war of words between the three, with rhetoric that has sparked frequent criticism of the president as racist for the way in which he has attacked the two women of colour, alongside representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley.
