Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) said preventing the entry of BDS-supported Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib into Israel is "a just, ethical, and important decision."

"Whoever sees this visit as a journey to occupied Palestine and its whole purpose is to provoke provocations cannot enter Israel. The United States would also not allow anyone who acts against it publicly and demonstratively, to enter " he said.
