1. Representative Rashida Tlaib won’t visit the Israeli-occupied West Bank after several days of controversy and reversals.

On Thursday, after President Trump urged Israel on Twitter not to admit Ms. Tlaib, pictured above, and Representative Ilhan Omar for a planned trip, Israeli officials announced the two women would not be allowed to make an official visit, raising fears about the relationship between the two countries.

On Friday, Israel offered Ms. Tlaib the opportunity to visit her grandmother on humanitarian grounds if she agreed in writing not to “promote boycotts against Israel” during her visit. After being criticized by some Palestinians and other opponents of the Israeli occupation for agreeing to the terms, Ms. Tlaib declined, writing on Twitter: “Visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in.”
