Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael’s decision to bar two US congresswomen who support a boycott of the country from visiting is “an outrageous act of hostility,” a senior Palestinian Authority official says.
“The Israeli decision to ban Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar from visiting Palestine is an outrageous act of hostility against the American people and their representatives,” Hanan Ashrawi says in a statement.
