With Israel heading to the polls Tuesday, Rep. Ilhan Omar said Sunday she hoped the country would break from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s agenda and defended her support for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanction movement.

Omar also said she hoped Israeli voters would see Netanyahu’s “existence, his policies, his rhetoric” as “contradictory” to the peace process in the region. She cited a recent campaign promise by Netanyahu to annex large swaths of the West Bank that have been under Israeli control since 1967. The area would include the Jordan River Valley — the bread basket of a proposed Palestinian state and a vital element to proposed two-state solutions.

“For many of us in Congress, there has been a longstanding support for a two-state solution, and this annexation now is going to make sure that that peace process does not happen,” Omar said.

The campaign promise comes as Netanyahu struggles to pull ahead of rival Benny Gantz in a re-run of an election held earlier this year that left Netanyahu unable to form a governing coalition. Whoever prevails is expected to have a tough time assembling a coalition of 61 seats in the 120-seat Knesset. Netanyahu has been the prime minister since 2009.

  1. Why is this sitting congresswoman meddling in a foreign Nation’s elections? How does what she is doing differ from what the Russians did in 2016?
    This Somalian’s boycott of a Jewish State is inherently racist. How can she, a sitting congresswoman, boycott an entire race? What would happen if a congressperson said they are boycotting all Muslims or all blacks? I will not purchase anything from a Company owned by a Muslim or black. This little girl is a very dangerous hypocrite.
