Israel has banned US Democratic congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from visiting the country.
The move came after encouragement from President Trump, who tweeted Thursday that Israel would "show great weakness" if the congresswomen, who he's accused of hating Jews, were allowed into the country.
Israel had previously said they would allow the visit to take place.
Rebecca Foster reports from Washington.
