Arab party leader: Barring of Tlaib ‘exposes the true face of Israel’s occupation’

The leader of the Joint List alliance of Arab and Arab-majority parties, Ayman Odeh, says the reported denial of entry to US Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib over their BDS support is a continuation of other alleged Israeli wrongdoings toward Palestinians.

“Israel has always banned Palestinians from their land and separated us from other Palestinians, but this time the Palestinian is a US congresswoman,” Odeh tweets.

“Rashida Tlaib didn’t even have to land to expose the true face of Israel’s occupation.”
