Former “Squad” member Cori Bush says her visa to Israel was revoked before she could depart for another West Bank trip tied to her work for a foreign organization.

Bush announced the development Friday in a video filmed at an airport. “My visa is now revoked,” Bush said.

“I tried to go through the TSA checkpoint and they were having problems letting me through, and the person asked me for my visa, I pulled up my visa, my visa to Israel is revoked.”

Bush attributed the problem to her criticism of Israel and her activities in the West Bank. She offered no indication in the video that the trip was connected to her registration as a foreign agent.

“If people talking about what you're doing in the West Bank is a problem, then the problem is you're doing wrong in the West Bank,” Bush said.

They revoked my visa? Not the “only” democracy in the Middle East?

Bush recently registered with the Department of Justice as a foreign agent for the International Federation for Rights and Development, according to reporting by the Washington Free Beacon. The Brussels based organization is led by Palestinian filmmaker Gamaal El Attar.

Under her contract, the organization will pay Bush and her former House campaign manager $25,000 through January. Their project involves coordinating delegations of Democratic Party figures and political leaders to the West Bank.

The contract describes plans to “coordinate fact-finding delegations” of “prominent Democratic Party figures and influential political leaders.” The stated purpose is to elevate “the narratives of Palestinian farmers and residents with settlers in the West Bank and other occupied territories.”

Bush’s record raises questions about how neutral those delegations would be. During her House tenure, she faced scrutiny for fundraising with an activist who said she wanted to burn Israelis alive.

After Bush lost the 2024 Democratic primary to Rep. Wesley Bell, a pro Israel Democrat, she directed angry language toward groups such as AIPAC. “All they did was radicalize me, so now they need to be afraid,” Bush said.

“They about to see this other Cori, this other side,” she told supporters. Bush added, “AIPAC, I'm coming to tear your kingdom down.”

Bush traveled to the West Bank last month as part of her work with the International Federation for Rights and Development. On Oct. 8, one day after the third anniversary of the Hamas led massacre of Israelis, she posted: “Let's go to the West Bank and stand with the Palestinian who are being attacked by (invaders) settlers.”

In other posts, Bush referred to the Israel Defense Forces as the IOF, meaning the “Israeli Occupation Forces,” a derisive phrase used by activists hostile to Israel. Her posts did not document aggressive conduct by Israeli troops or settlers.

Some of the material instead showed Bush and her companions shopping and sightseeing in the West Bank. One photograph showed Bush beside a highway sign near what she claimed was a roadblock established by Israeli police.

Bush also posted photographs from Ramallah showing her husband helping Palestinian American landowner Yasser Alkam clear overgrowth. They said Alkam “hasn't been able to farm for 3 years because of the threats from invaders.”

Alkam, who until recently operated a divorce law firm in California, appears prominently in the organization’s initiative. Social media posts show that he hosted climate activist Ben Dziobek and former New Jersey House candidate Katie Bansi on organization sponsored “olive harvesting” trips.

Alkam was also featured in a video from New York City councilwoman Julie Won, who participated in a similar trip organized by the International Federation for Rights and Development.

In September, Alkam appeared on former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz’s show on One America News Network. Alkam made the unverified claim that Israeli settlers had burned more than 40 homes and uprooted more than 15,000 olive trees in the West Bank village of Turmus Ayya.

Bush later appeared with Alkam on former MSNBC host Joy Reid’s podcast. During that appearance, Bush claimed that she experienced Jim Crow style treatment from the Israeli military during her visit.

Other organizations have conducted similar “olive harvesting” tours with openly hostile agendas toward Israel. Congressman elect Brad Lander of New York claimed last month that Israeli soldiers detained him while he was “simply harvesting olives” on a trip hosted by Protect the Harvest.

An itinerary obtained by the Free Beacon showed that Protect the Harvest described the trip’s goal as building support for “international intervention” against Israel. The Israeli embassy did not respond to a request for comment.
