Israel’s interior minister has reportedly approved a humanitarian request from Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., to visit Israel just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., were barred from entering the country this weekend due to their support of an anti-Israel boycott movement.

In a letter sent to Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, Tlaib requested being able to visit her Palestinian grandmother who lives in the West Bank, according to the Jerusalem Post.

“This could be my last opportunity to see her,” Tlaib wrote of her grandmother, who is in her 90s. “I will respect any restrictions and I will not promote any boycotts against Israel during my visit.”

When Tlaib and Omar were barred Thursday for their support of the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), the government said it would accept a humanitarian request from Tlaib but Omar would not be allowed into the country.

Netanyahu's official Twitter account posted Thursday the congresswomen's itinerary and "revealed that they planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israel's legitimacy."

Many Democratic and Republican lawmakers have spoken out against Israel's decision.

Before Netanyahu made the announcement, President Trump tweeted that allowing them in would show "great weakness."

Tlaib is expected to visit the country between Aug. 18-24, The Jerusalem Post reported.

I guess her grandmother's not nearly as important to her as she originally would like people to believe. These idiots have no shame.

Two anti-Semitic congress women were denied entry into Israel.
One claimed to have an aging grand mother as an excuse for her visit and used social media as a platform to shame Israel.
She was granted a hall pass but has now decided to stay home.
My guess is she has no living relatives there.

My guess is that Tlaib does, but she was using her grandmother as a tool to try to paint Israel in a bad light. That makes her a piece of shit on an order worse than just antisemitic.
