Rep. Rashida Tlaib, citing 'racist treatment' and 'oppressive conditions,' said Friday she would not be going to the West Bank.
Nicholas Wu and Ryan W. MillerRep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., citing"racist treatment" and "oppressive conditions," said Friday she would not be going to the West Bank – hours after Israel said it would allow her into the occupied territory this weekend.
But after she was granted access to the West Bank, Tlaib announced in a tweet that she would not be going, saying the conditions placed on her trip were not what her grandmother would have wanted. Deri responded to Tlaib's announcement later Friday, saying that while he had approved Tlaib's visit to her grandmother as a"gesture of goodwill," Tlaib's"hate for Israel overcomes her love for her grandmother."
Netanyahu had left room for an exception when announcing the ban, though, saying that the Israeli government would consider a humanitarian request by Tlaib to visit her relatives.Omar and Tlaib – the first Muslim women to serve in Congress – had planned to travel to Jerusalem and the West Bank, among other stops, this weekend. The two progressives have been sharply critical of Israel over its treatment of Palestinians.
