Us House Passes Israel Boycott Bill Targeting Universities | Dems Warn of Free Speech Attack | N18g

The US House of Representatives has passed a Republican-backed bill that could penalise universities taking part in certain commercial boycotts of Israel. The Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act passed 237-169, with 33 Democrats joining Republicans in support.

Republicans argue the measure prevents discrimination and misuse of federal funds, while Democrats including Rashida Tlaib call it an attack on free speech and academic freedom. The bill now heads to the US Senate, where it must pass before reaching the president.
