Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on Saturday retweeted, then removed, a tweet falsely blaming Israelis for the death of an Arab child in eastern Jerusalem, JTA reported.

Tlaib retweeted a tweet by PLO official Hanan Ashrawi who was quote-tweeting an account which accused “Israeli settlers” of kidnapping, assaulting and throwing eight-year-old Qais Abu Ramila from the neighborhood of Beit Hanina into a well.

The body of eight-year-old Qais Abu Ramila, from the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina, who had been missing since Friday, was located early Saturday morning in a reservoir of rainwater.

He was evacuated to a hospital after residents attempted to resuscitate him. Initially, he was said to be in serious condition, but doctors ultimately pronounced him dead.

His body was found after hours of search efforts by police, first responders and hundreds of volunteers.

Authorities had focused their search on the pool of water near Beit Hanina after tracking dogs picked up Abu Ramila’s scent in the area, speculating that he may have fallen in. Video footage from the scene showed first responders wading through the water with searchlights.

Police had asked the public for assistance in locating the boy and hundreds of volunteers helped comb the neighborhood.

His family initially said he was kidnapped on his way to the store, but later reversed that claim, according to the Haaretz daily.

Police believe the boy slipped and fell into the reservoir and was injured, resulting in him remaining there all night without being able to get out. Hundreds of residents of Beit Hanina took part in the search efforts, during which clashes broke out between police and the residents.

Tlaib subsequently removed her retweet, according to JTA, and Ashrawi eventually apologized for “retweeting something that’s not fully verified.”

Tlaib claimed in an interview in May that Palestinian Arabs living in the British Mandate prior to the establishment of the State of Israel “provided” a safe haven to Jews after the Holocaust.

In addition, when asked in a past television interview whether she would vote against military aid to Israel when she goes to Congress, Tlaib replied, “Absolutely.”

In August, Israel announced it would bar entry to Tlaib and fellow Muslim Congress woman Ilhan Omar over their support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Most recently, Tlaib appeared to blame the Jersey City shooting on “white supremacy” even though the attackers had been identified as members of an extremist “anti-white and anti-Semitic” movement.

In this case as well, Tlaib made the false claim on Twitter and then deleted the tweet after being called out on it.
