Rep. Davis' statement on Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to deny entry to Representatives Representatives Omar and Tlaib

The reported decision by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is unprecedented, dangerous, unacceptable and wrong. This decision is inconsistent and antithetical with the notions of democracy which the Prime Minister has repeatedly emphasized are a foundational feature of the relationship between our two nations.

I call on Prime Minister Netanyahu to reconsider his decision and to invite Representatives Omar and Tlaib and other Representatives who may choose to accompany them to visit Israel and to freely see for themselves conditions in Israel and Palestine and exchange views with the people of both nations.
