JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel is considering preventing two of its most vocal critics in the US Congress, including Rachida Tlaib of the Democratic Party, from visiting the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, an Israeli official said on Sunday.

No official details of the trip have been made public, but sources familiar with the planned visit said it could start early next week.

Taleb is one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Both voiced support for the boycott, divestment and pro-Palestinian sanctions.

Under Israeli law, the movement's supporters may be denied entry to Israel, but Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer said last month that they would be allowed in, out of respect for the US Congress and US-Israeli relations.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior members of his cabinet held consultations on Wednesday to make a "final decision" on the visit, a US official said.

Preventing elected US officials from visiting could exacerbate tensions between Netanyahu, who highlighted his close relationship with President Donald Trump during his current election campaign, and members of the Democratic Party in Congress.

Sources involved in planning the visit said that approval is still pending in the House of Representatives values ​​committee, which will discuss its course.

The visit of the two American legislators to Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings became a point of contention.

"To ensure that Israeli sovereignty is shown on the site, they will ask the Israeli police to accompany them, not just Waqf officials," said one source familiar with the planned visit, referring to the Islamic Waqf administration.

An official at Israel's Ministry of Homeland Security said any visit to Tlaib would require Al-Aqsa Mosque.
