Egypt, the country that receives $2 billion a year in foreign aid from the United States, partly for making a “peace deal” with Israel, has barred fading pop star Madonna from entering Egypt—because she visited Israel: Egypt bans Madonna after Israel visit. (Hat tip: PDM.)

Members of Egypt’s parliament have demanded Madonna, who has not requested entry into Egypt or announced any plans to visit the country, be barred from entering Egyptian soil. The parliament directed Egyptian embassies abroad to deny any visa requests from Madonna.

The demand comes after Madonna, aka Esther, visited the Jewish state last week making daily headline news with midnight trips to a Jewish cemetery, a quick drive by past the Wailing Wall, and even the arrest of her security detail.

The Material Girl praised Israel during her trip and urged people to visit the country.
