Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Dr. Michael Oren said Israel has a right to refuse entry to two Democratic lawmakers, who are openly critical of the country, because of their support of an organization that seeks to “destroy the state of Israel through economic strangulation.”
“Every country in the world, not just Israel, has a right to deny entry to those who would hurt that country or certainly want to destroy that country,” Oren told Fox & Friends in an appearance on Aug. 20. “Someone shows up to the United States and says, I’m here because I deny the right of the United States to exist and I’m going to work to try to eliminate the United States, believe me, that person is not getting into a U.S. airport. Same thing here is true.”
