In a video statement posted to social media from the airport, Bush explained that Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers flagged an issue with her documentation at the security checkpoint before confirming that her Israeli visa had been canceled.
Responding to the ban, Bush mocked Tel Aviv’s self-proclaimed democratic credentials, writing, “They revoked my visa? Not the ‘only’ democracy in the Middle East? It’s still Free Palestine from wherever I am.”
The former Missouri lawmaker, who recently registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) to conduct fact-finding missions in the occupied West Bank, attributed the revocation directly to her vocal criticism of Israeli military actions and US taxpayer funding for Tel Aviv.
