(Hill) Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) has invited House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) to join her on a planned congressional delegation to the West Bank after he criticized the trip in an interview.
“Yo [Engel] how are we ever going to obtain peace?” Tlaib tweeted at the longtime New York congressman. “I hope you’ll come with me on the trip to listen and learn. My sity (grandmother) will welcome you with an embrace & love.”
“Please feel free to call me if you have anything to say,” she added. “I am your colleague now.”
Engel appeared to dismiss the proposed trip this week in an interview with Al-Monitor, suggesting that Tlaib’s proposal is “close-minded.”
