WASHINGTON - US congress womna Rashida Tlaib cancels West Bank visit, citing Israel's 'oppressive conditions and calls for U.S. to 're-evaluate our unwavering support' for Israel over Netanyahu's 'alignment with Trump's hate agenda'

Netanyahu was not forced by the U.S. president to ban Reps Tlaib and Omar. He heads a racist ideology that dehumanizes Palestinians – a worldview shared in full by the Trump administration, writes Haretz on Friday.

The whole world now witnessed Trump and Netanyahu’s racist and annexationist synergy, said the Israeli newspaper adding that Trump and Netanyahu just broke the special relationship between America and Israel and the wannabe authoritarian tag-team has committed a reckless, racist, contemptible act driven by stunningly short-sighted political calculations - but with fateful repercussions.

The Israeli government said on Friday that it would allow Representative Rashida Tlaib to enter on humanitarian grounds so that she could see her 90-year-old grandmother.

On Thursday, Ms. Tlaib and Representative Ilhan Omar were denied entry because they have supported the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.

Indeed, Rashida Tlaib says she will not visit the West Bank under Israel’s conditions.

The Israeli decision on Omar and Tlaib Inflames politics in two countries and made the the Anti-Boycott Law Israel used to bar both Omar and Tlaib the centre of a new debate.
