Shep Smith Mocks Israel Prime Minister for Being Trump’s Lapdog: ‘The President Tweets — Netanyahu Forbids’

‘The truth is, he knew of their position two weeks ago, when the Israeli Ambassador to the United States said their entry would, indeed, be allowed’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: "Our reporting begins with the Israeli government announcing it will bar two American Muslim congresswomen from visiting the country. It happened after President Trump tweeted that it would show great weakness for Israel to allow the lawmakers into the country. Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan were set to visit the West Bank. Aside from being the President’s political opponents, the congresswomen support a boycott against Israel due to its treatment of the Palestinian people and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that gives him the legal right to ban them. The truth is, he knew of their position two weeks ago, when the Israeli ambassador to the United States said that their entry would indeed be allowed. In the end, Israel controls who visits its occupied territories, and in this case the President tweets — Netanyahu forbids."
