Democratic Camp leader says banning Omar, Tlaib from Israel a ‘grave mistake’

Democratic Camp party chairman Nitzan Horowitz says the reported decision to bar US congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar from entering Israel is a “grave mistake.”

“This isn’t just a confrontation with the Democratic Party which has always supported Israel, it’s also a more basic issue: Israel is a free and democratic country, and in such a country you don’t deal with criticism by entry or exit bans,” he writes on Twitter.
