BEIT UR AL-FOQA, West Bank - Rep. Rashida Tlaib's grandmother says she does not understand what all the hubbub is about why can't her granddaughter, an important person in America, stop by for a visit?
On Friday, Rashida Tlaib announced she was canceling a visit to this small village, just hours after Israel changed its tune by granting the Michigan Democrat permission to go.
Im really very sad," her grandmother, who is in her 80s, told NBC News on Saturday.
Tlaib's planned visit to Israel and the West Bank was initially blocked by Israel.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., also said he was in favor of Israel's initial barring of Tlaib given her criticisms of the country.
