Israel approves Tlaib request to visit grandmother in West Bank
By John Bowden - 08/16/19 06:02 AM EDT
Israel's interior minister Aryeh Deri on Friday announced he would approve a request from U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) to enter Israel to visit her Palestinian relatives in the West Bank, according to multiple reports.

The move comes a day after Israel had announced it would deny entry to Tlaib and fellow congresswoman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) in a scheduled trip, citing the lawmakers' past criticism of the country.
The decision to block their entry came shortly after a tweet from President Trump urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to block the House members' visit, saying it would "show great weakness" to let them visit.
