Israel has reversed course yet again and decided to allow one of the two U.S. congresswomen it had previously banned to visit. Interior minister Aryeh Deri says Representative Rashida Tlaib will be allowed in on humanitarian grounds to visit her 90-year old grandmother in the West Bank. In a letter published by the minister's office Tlaib says she will respect any restrictions and not promote boycotts during the visit. Earlier U.S. President Donald Trump had denied persuading Israel to bar Tlaib and Representative Ilhan Omar, who are critical of Israel's treatment of Palestinians, from entering the country. As VOA's Michael Brown reports, Trump made his case on social media and to reporters, before attending a campaign rally Thursday night to energize his supporters.
