Israeli ambassador accuses Tlaib of 'stoking tensions' over Al-Aqsa mosque
Fox News
Israel's Ambassador to the U.S. criticized Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., for "stoking tensions" with her comments about Israel's deadly clashes with Hamas.
"Congresswoman, instead of calling for peace and calm, your tweets are the stoking tensions," Erdan wrote in another post. "Maybe you don't realize that your words encourage terror groups such as Hamas to fire rockets into civilian populations and carry out attacks against Jews." Tlaib criticized Israel after Israeli police and Palestinians clashed Friday at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, a major holy site sacred to Muslims and Jews in Jerusalem. Tlaib is the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress.More Related News
