Israel on Thursday announced that it would deny Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) entry during an upcoming overseas trip, citing the lawmakers' past comments critical of the country.
The decision was announced moments after President Trump tweeted that it would show "great weakness" for Israel to allow the two congresswomen into the country, calling them a “disgrace.”
The president has been an outspoken critic of both Omar and Tlaib, who last year became the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. But encouraging a foreign ally to deny entry to two elected U.S. officials marked a significant escalation and break with diplomatic norms.
Deputy Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely called it a “very justified decision.”
Donald J. Trump Verified account @realDonaldTrump 3h3 hours ago Representatives Omar and Tlaib are the face of the Democrat Party, and they HATE Israel!

Israel denies Omar and Tlaib entry after Trump tweet
It seems that Israel has become aware of Omar's antics, tax evasions, incestuous marriage to her brother and her incessant hate for all things she doesn't like, Israel in this case.
Was looking up Trumps twitter and saw this

I have to say, it certainly does look that way.
