After ban, Israel permits U.S. Rep Tlaib to make humanitarian visit to family in West Bank

JERUSALEM - Israel decided on Friday to allow U.S. congresswoman Rashida Tlaib - a critic of Israeli policy toward the Palestinians - to visit family in the occupied West Bank on humanitarian grounds after barring her from making an official visit to Israel.

However, Netanyahu said that if Tlaib submitted a request to visit family on humanitarian grounds, Israel would consider it as long as she promised not to promote a boycott against Israel. “I will respect any restrictions and will not promote boycotts against Israel during my visit,” Tlaib wrote in the request, which was circulated by the website Ynet and other Israeli media.

Tlaib and Omar are the first two Muslim women to be elected to Congress, and the Detroit-born Tlaib is also the first Palestinian-American congresswoman. Israel had initially chosen to allow the visit, but changed course on Thursday after Trump called on his ally not to let them in.

Going back home huh!?🤨

Well this MuslimBan is spreading. First Trump decided to shut down Muslims coming to the US. Now Israel shuts down Muslims going to Israel. China is putting 1Mil Muslims is ConcentrationCamps. Seems like there’s a real pattern here.

alshammarsf Thanks to Israel for banning the two Thugs.

No more US billions for Israel IsraeliPM - cut’m off, they’re our nation’s representatives suckitup

Is she going?

why now ? and why it became more politics ?

This is apartheid.

Trump: 'go back where you came from' Tlaib: 'ok I'll go visit Palestine then-' Trump: 'no not like that' Trump Supporters: *drooling*

And I bet you she still doesn’t keep her anti-Israel mouth shut while she is there.

I wouldn't trust that from isreal for nothing. They are wishy washy.

So now U.S. Tax payers are flipping the bill so she can visit family? WTF!?!? realDonaldTrump

It was initially offered. Not after.

How's she in u.s. gov't position?

Humanitarian visit is the excuse NOT the purpose of the trip

Trump has to call in a couple favors to get her in so I hope she appreciates his help. Israel didn’t want her to come back.

No one should need Israel's permission to visit a sovereign state like Palestine.

Hopefully she stays there and take Ilhan with her (a man can only wish though) :-(

Keep her !

BoycottIsrael

Are the taxpayers paying for this?

She won’t go without her antisemitic sidekick
