Israel’s interior minister on Friday said he has granted Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s request to visit her family in the occupied West Bank on humanitarian grounds — a day after she and her colleague Rep. Ilhan Omar were barred from entering the country.

Tlaib, D-Mich., who is of Palestinian origin, asked to visit her grandmother in the West Bank, Minister Aryeh Deri said in a statement.

Deri’s decision came hours after Tlaib submitted a letter requesting to be permitted to enter despite the ban.

“I would like to request admittance to Israel in order to visit my relatives, and specifically my grandmother, who is in her 90s and lives in Beit Ur al-Fouqa,” Tlaib wrote in her letter to Deri, according to the Jerusalem Post.

“This could be my last opportunity to see her. I will respect any restrictions and will not promote boycotts against Israel during my visit,” she added.

Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan, whose ministry is responsible for combating the Palestinian-led boycott movement against Israel, supported Deri’s decision, the newspaper reported.

On Thursday, Israel announced it was barring Tlaib and Omar — the first two Muslim women elected to Congress and two of Israel’s sharpest critics – from entry, an unprecedented move targeting members of Congress.

Israel’s decision came after President Trump tweeted that it would show “weakness” to allow in the two freshman Democrats who have been sharply critical of him and of the Israeli policies toward the Palestinians.

Both lawmakers support the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against the Jewish state.

Under Israeli law, BDS backers can be denied entry to Israel, which says the movement targets the country’s very existence — while the BDS backers insist that it is intended as leverage to end more than half a century of Israeli military rule over Palestinians.

The Israeli government had made it clear earlier that it would consider a humanitarian request from Tlaib, but would not accept an Omar-Tlaib delegation.

According to Channel 12, the terms for allowing Tlaib’s trip were that she would visit by herself, without Omar. She is expected to visit her relatives between Sunday and Aug. 24.

“The decision to prevent the admittance of the congresswomen [Tlaib and Omar] was just and proper after it clearly emerged from their planned schedule that the purpose of the visit prepared for them was to continue supporting and promoting the boycott of Israel,” Erdan wrote on Twitter, after Tlaib’s letter to Deri became public.

“Congresswoman Tlaib’s request to visit her grandmother must be approved. Mainly in light of its commitment to respect Israeli law and not to promote boycotts against us,” he added.
