Israel announced Thursday it was barring the entry of two US congresswomen after Donald Trump encouraged the move, a remarkable step both by the US President and his ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to punish political opponents.Israel decided to ban Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar from entering the country, a spokesman for deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely told CNN on Thursday. The announcement came shortly after Trump said Israel would be showing "great weakness" by allowing them to enter the country.The intervention by Trump into Israel's decision-making was extraordinary enough. But the move by the Netanyahu's government lent the longstanding US-Israel alliance with a new partisan tinge and opened the door for fresh criticism.In considering the ban, Israel had cited the congresswomen's support for a boycott against Israel, according to an Israeli government official."The State of Israel respects the American Congress in the framework of the close alliance between the two countries, but it is unthinkable that an entry to Israel would be allowed to those who seek to damage the State of Israel, even during a visit," said Interior Minister Aryeh Deri in a statement. Under Israeli law, the interior minister is the one authorized to make a decision on barring entry.Deri said he made the decision with the support of Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.The boycott movement, formally known as the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions movement, aims to end international support for Israel because of its policies towards Palestinians, as well as its continued construction of West Bank settlements, considered a violation of international law.Tlaib and Omar have been vocal critics of Israel and have supported the boycott movement, also known as BDS, and voted against a House resolution condemning the BDS movement, which received broad bipartisan support.Last month, Tlaib tweeted that the resolution was "unconstitutional" and aimed to "silence" opposition to Israel's policies.Trump, who has a close relationship with Netanyahu, has repeatedly attacked both Tlaib and Omar, telling them last month to "go back" to the countries they came from. Tlaib was born in the United States, and Omar was born in Somalia and is a naturalized US citizen.Trump called for Omar's resignation in March after she suggested US support of Israel is motivated by money in remarks condemned by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle as anti-Semitic.On Thursday, Trump said it would show "great weakness" if Israel allowed entry to Omar and Tlaib."It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib to visit," Trump tweeted. "They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds. Minnesota and Michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!"Earlier, the White House had signaled the decision would be up to Israel."The Israeli government can do what it wants," press secretary Stephanie Grisham said, adding that reports Trump told Netanyahu he thought the two congresswoman should be barred were "inaccurate."On Wednesday, the Israeli Prime Minister, interior minister, foreign minister, minister of internal security, the head of the national security council and the attorney general all met to discuss a final decision on the issue of the congresswomen's visit, the sources said, which had been scheduled to take place from August 18 to 22.Tlaib and Omar, who are the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, planned to visit one of the holiest and most sensitive sites in Jerusalem, known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount. The two lawmakers refused to be escorted by Israeli security while visiting the site, as they believe Muslims have a right to pray there, organizers in Israel and America told CNN.The two congresswomen also planned to meet with Israeli and Palestinian peace activists and representatives of human rights organizations. They were to visit Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Ramallah and Hebron. There were no plans to meet officials, organizers said.Tlaib planned to stay two extra days to visit her grandmother, who lives in the West Bank village of Beit Ur al-Tahta.If Tlaib, who is the first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress, made a humanitarian request to visit her family in the West Bank, that would be allowed, the government official said.But that decision would be separate from the decision to bar them from entering Israel.Israel decision to deny entry to the two freshmen congresswomen amounted to a reversal of a position taken last month when Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer said the two would be allowed to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories."Out of respect for the U.S. Congress and the great alliance between Israel and America, we would not deny entry to any member of Congress into Israel," Dermer said at the time in widely reported comments. Dermer is considered one of those closest to Netanyahu.Former Mayor of Jerusalem Nir Barkat, who is a member of Netanyahu's Likud Party, said he would welcome the two congresswomen into the country, but only if they would "listen and learn.""If I would be convinced that they came to listen and learn in how this country works, how Jerusalem works, how our political system works," Barkat told Israeli news channel i24NEWS on Tuesday, "I would consider it ... convincing people that (Israel's) path is the right path is the high road I think we should take."Israel passed a law in March 2017 which allows the country to bar entry to anyone who supports the BDS movement. The controversial law, passed by Israel's right-wing and centrist parties, was roundly criticized by human rights organizations. If used to deny entry to Tlaib and Omar, it would be by far the most high-profile implementation of the law.The decision to bar the entry of the Congresswomen will have political considerations -- both foreign and domestic -- for Netanyahu. He is in the midst of a tough re-election campaign with a fractured right-wing voter base. 6130

If your favorite work of art is yourself, then you’ll want to visit the latest museum trend popping up around the country. It’s called The Selfie Museum. They’re in cities from coast to coast, offering a place where photos are not only encouraged, but required. The latest one just opened in Denver, Colorado. Alex Kurylin and his business partner opened up Denver’s first-ever museum of its kind. Admission will cost you . Over 100 people visited the museum on opening day.“It’s an interactive museum for Instagram fans who love to take beautiful pictures and post them on Instagram," Kurylin says. The museums attract the millennials, but families with small children are also buying tickets. Visitors will find several different rooms with different themes. The rooms include a bubble gum wall, a banana swing, a bathtub, angel wings and a donut wall.All the installations were created by Kurylin and his business partner, but all the hand-drawn art on the walls were created by local artists.There are dozens of selfie museums around the country in cities like New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. They plan to open their second location in Seattle in the coming months. 1193

It’s a sound that will change your life.“It’s magic; it’s the first real sign sometimes that you’re actually pregnant, to hear that heart,” said Elizabeth Madrid, a physician assistant.She's helping a new mom listen to her baby’s heart. This mom is a student at Florence Crittenton High School in Denver, Colorado. And at this school, all the students are moms or expecting moms. Like Emily Castaneda.“I never thought that I would go to an all-girls school, so it was kind of weird at the beginning. But I was like, I can relate to all of them, so I like it now,” said Castaneda.Castaneda is getting ready to graduate in May. She has a 1-year-old son named Eliin. Normally, she’d have to find daycare for him if she wanted to go to high school. That’s if she could afford it. “I’m like literally so close to him. I can come check him anytime. I probably wouldn’t even finish high school to be honest,” said Castaneda.This high school has daycare on-site, so new moms like Emily can continue their education. And if they need to see doctor for anything that moms, their kids, or expecting moms might need, they don’t have to go far. “We do prenatal care, we do their physicals for the children, we offer mental health services, we do dental services, any sick visits. We try to make it as easy as possible,” said Linda Almanza, a medical assistant at the clinic.The clinic, in partnership with Denver Health, helped Rebecca Roldan get through a scary moment when her second daughter had respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV.“She almost passed... I was just scared, and like coming to the clinic, they helped me. Like you don’t have to be afraid, we’re here to help with whatever medical you need,” recalled Roldan.Roldan’s daughter was in the hospital for a while, but now she’s out and healthy.Not only is the school helping her with her daughter's health issues and finishing high school, but they’re helping her look to her future. She wants to be a mental health therapist.“I’m taking phlebotomy and medical office so it gets me like in the doorstep," she said. "I’m getting an internship. I don’t know where yet, but this summer I’ll be doing a medical internship."That’s high-level training for a high school student. But Florence Critterton provides what they call a MEDConnect program, courses and work-based learning experiences for students interested in a career in the healthcare or biomedical sciences field.There are a handful of schools that offer daycare across the country from LA to Maine, but the staff here thinks the on campus clinic makes it one of a kind. “This is the only Florence Critterton with a high school and a clinic attached, and a daycare,” said Almanza.While they think they’re unique, the people who work at Florence Critterton would love to see this type of school all over the country.“This could be a role model to a lot of places in America," said Almanza. "You know, teen moms is not a thing we choose, it’s something that happens sometimes. Instead of bashing it sometimes and making it something negative, let’s make it positive." 3084

It's a reality on health care that so many of us are living. A new survey released by West Health and Gallup finds 65 million adults had a health issue in the past year, but they didn't get treatment for it because of the cost. One of the biggest issues of health care costs is the surprise medical bills. The issue has become such a problem, Congress held its first-ever congressional hearing on surprise medical bills Tuesday. “If your kid gets hurt playing soccer and you go to an [emergency doctor], there's a really good chance you're gonna get a surprise medical bill,” says Frederick Isasi. Isasi is the executive director for Families USA, an advocacy group for health care consumers. “More people are scared of hospital bills and health care bills than getting sick,” Isasi says. “That's where we are as a nation. There's more harm happening in this country, in some ways psychologically, around the cost of health care than actually being scared about their health.” Isasi and others testified about the need for federal laws to protect patients, including making hospitals and doctors provide billing costs upfront and putting a cap on costs. A new survey found in the past year, Americans borrowed billion to pay for health care, because they couldn't afford it. “Almost half of Americans, they have less than 0 in saving, so a surprise medical bill for ,000 means, ‘I'm gonna have to miss my car payment, miss my mortgage payment. I'm gonna have to take out of my retirement account,’” Isasi says. But at Tuesday’s hearing, lawmakers openly admitted finding a real solution will be a challenge. “The problem is this whole process of health care is so complex,” Rep. Rick Allen (R-Georgia) relayed at the hearing. Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pennsylvania) agreed, stating “the solutions I’m hearing don't really sound very workable in the context of our present medical system, and that's where I really struggle to understand how we're gonna fix this.” Some states have passed legislation to try and protect patients from surprise bills, but about 60 percent of employer-based plans are governed by federal law, not state law. 2153
