Israel bars EU parliament member from entering the country
She is an open enemy of the country, and has worked to make it disappear. Why on earth would they welcome her even in transit?
[IsraelTimes] Officials cite Ana Miranda’s participation in the 2015 ’Freedom Flotilla III’ attempt to break blockade of the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip as reason for refusal


A member of the European Parliament was turned back at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv on Tuesday and sent to her native Spain after she attempted to enter Israel on a diplomatic mission to the Paleostinian Authority.

Israeli officials cited the fact that the politician, Ana Miranda, who represents the Galicia region, participated in a 2015 flotilla that attempted to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip. Israel imposes the blockade to prevent Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, the Islamic terror group that controls the Strip and avowedly seeks Israel’s destruction, from importing weaponry. Critics call the policy collective punishment.

Israeli law prohibits supporters of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement from entering the country, and US Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
were barred from visiting in 2019.

But Politico obtained emails sent earlier this month from Israel’s Foreign Ministry that granted Miranda permission to visit.

"It’s a diplomatic conflict [and] it’s intolerable that Israel exerts control over members of a delegation that’s going to Paleostine, not going to Israel," Miranda told Politico.
There is no Paleostine
Roberta Metsola, president of the EU parliament, wrote on Twitter that she was "deeply disappointed" by the incident and "will be contacting Israel’s authorities to clarify what happened."

Miranda, a member of the Greens/European Free Alliance group, was part of a delegation of eight EU politicians. Some had planned to visit Israel, while others planned to visit the West Bank. Politico reported that the Israeli Foreign Ministry emails show that another proposed member of the delegation, Manu Pineda, was barred from entry over his alleged support of Hamas, the group that rules Gaza and is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and the EU. Pineda denies supporting Hamas, but he did not attempt to visit after his request was denied.

"Respect for all elected MEPs and the European Parliament is essential for good EU-Israel relations," Nabila Massrali, the European Commission’s spokesperson for foreign affairs, told Politico. "This decision is deeply disappointing."
