Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said that she won’t visit her family in the West Bank despite Israel approving her humanitarian request to do so.

Israeli authorities said Aug. 16 that Tlaib could go to the West Bank to visit her 90-year-old grandmother and other relatives after Tlaib, whose family hails from the country, wrote them a letter making a humanitarian request.
