While Rashida Tlaib has yet to respond, Ilhan Omar has fired back on Twitter, pointing out the hypocrisy of Israel banning a duly elected congressperson from entering their country.

"It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government. Trump's Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing, this time against two duly elected Members of Congress," Omar wrote.

"The irony of the 'only democracy' in the Middle East making such a decision is that it is both an insult to democratic values and a chilling response to a visit by government officials from an allied nation," she added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed it was the country's interior minister who decided to deny entry to Reps. Tlaib and Omar and said he supports the decision.

"As a free and vibrant democracy, Israel is open to critics and criticism, with one exception: Israeli law prohibits the entry into Israel of those who call for and work to impose boycotts on Israel," Netanyahu said in a statement. 

He went on to say, "Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar are leading activists in promoting the legislation of boycotts against Israel in the American Congress."

Many legislators on both sides of the isle disagreed with the ban.

Even AIPAC, a pro-Israeli lobbyist organization whom Omar has criticized in the past, said banning the congresswomen was not something they agree with.
