“Israel has decided- we won’t enable the members of Congress [Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib) to enter the country. We won’t allow those who deny our right to exist in this world to enter Israel. In principle, this is a very justified decision.” — Tzipi Hotovely, Israeli Foreign Minister. August 15, 2019
