Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan is being criticized for a tweet she posted about Israel not releasing the body of a Palestinian woman who allegedly attacked soldiers. Israeli and Palestinian sources reported conflicting information on the incident at the time.
On Saturday, Tlaib tweeted about the efforts of Khuloud Afana to retrieve her daughter Mai’s body from the Israeli authorities. Tlaib said that the older Afana is “fighting to be able to bury her daughter & begin her healing.” Tlaib described the late Afana as “a mother, loving daughter & successful PhD student.”
