After Being Banned, Israeli Interior Minister Approves Tlaib Request to Visit Grandmother, Tlaib Declines
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri (Shas) on Friday approved US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s request to visit Israel in order to see her elderly grandmother. On Thursday, Israel announced that Democratic Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib will not be allowed to enter Israel due to their support of BDS. On Thursday night, Tlaib sent a request to Israel’s Ministry of Interior to visit her “Palestinian” grandmother on humanitarian grounds.
