Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) called on Israel to release the body of a Palestinian woman killed while attacking Israeli troops.

Tlaib said the Israeli military’s account of the death of Mai Afana in June was made “without proof” and said that Israel should release Afana’s body to bring closure to the family. Tlaib did not mention that Afana died after reportedly ramming her car into an Israeli military checkpoint in a suspected terror attack.
