The grandmother of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said that she still hopes to see her granddaughter after Tlaib abruptly canceled her planned trip to Israel despite being approved for travel by the Israeli government.
After Israel barred Tlaib and fellow Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from their planned trip, Tlaib promised to avoid promotion of the controversial BDS movement if officials let her travel to the West Bank to see her family, including her 90-year-old grandmother. But hours after officials granted her request, Tlaib said she'd changed her mind and wouldn’t go.
