President Donald Trump said that Israel shouldn’t let Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) into the country, alleging “they hate Israel and all Jewish people, as a report indicated that officials have barred them from entering Israel.

Omar and Tlaib, the only Muslim members of Congress, have repeatedly indicated disdain for Israel—saying the country is “occupying” Palestine—and support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement aimed at cutting off money for the majority Jewish nation.
