After Israel granted her request for a “humanitarian” visit to her Palestinian grandmother, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., said Friday she wouldn’t make the trip after all.
Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., had been barred from making an official trip to the West Bank. To receive permission to visit her family, Tlaib had to promise not to promote the boycott movement against Israel while she was there.
Tlaib then sent a letter to Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri asking to visit her grandmother, saying she would “respect any restrictions” and would “not promote boycotts against Israel” during her trip. In response, Deri said that “it seems that her hatred of Israel is greater than her love for her grandmother.”
