Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is holding consultations with senior ministers and aides to reevaluate the decision to allow two Democratic Congresswomen to enter the country next week, said a government official according to The Associated Press Thursday.
The premier was holding consultations about the upcoming visit of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and that "there is a possibility that Israel will not allow the visit in its current proposed format."
The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

The Muslim members of Congress are outspoken critics of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians and advocates of a boycott against the country.
Tlaib's family immigrated to the US from the West Bank.
Last month, Israeli ambassador to the US Ron Dermer said Israel would not deny entry to any member of Congress.
