US House Passes Bill to Strip Federal Funding From Universities Boycotting Israel
–
Neutral summary
The US House of Representatives has passed the Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act, which would block federal aid to universities that participate in boycotts of Israel. The vote was 237-169, with all but 33 Democrats joining Republicans in support, and the measure now moves to the Senate. Democratic Leader Jeffries and rights groups argue the bill violates free speech and would allow President Trump to launch political attacks on college campuses. The legislation comes amid Republican scrutiny of antisemitism on campus and follows widespread protests over the Gaza war that have killed more than 73,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry.
