Israel’s interior minister blasted Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for rejecting the Jewish state’s offer to allow the far-left congresswoman to visit relatives in Israel’s West Bank, saying her “hatred” for the country outweighs her love for her grandmother.
“Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib just tweeted that she will not visit Israel. Last night, she sent me a letter asking me to allow her to visit her grandmother, who is in her 90s, because ‘this might be my last opportunity to see her.’ I agreed to this humanitarian request, but it turns out that it was just a provocation aimed at embarrassing Israel,” tweeted Aryeh Deri.
Deri’s statement came in response to Tlaib’s announcement earlier Friday she will not visither grandmother in the West Bank after the country said it would grant her entry under humanitarian circumstances.
“When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions. I can’t allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my city to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies,” Tlaib tweeted.
