House votes to censure Rashida Tlaib over her criticism of Israel

Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in the chamber, sparked criticism by defending the slogan from the river to the sea'

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted late on Tuesday to censure the Democratic representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan - the only Palestinian American in Congress - in an extraordinary rebuke of her rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war.

The 234-188 tally came after enough Democrats joined with Republicans to censure Tlaib, a punishment one step below expulsion from the House. The three-term congresswoman has long been a target of criticism for her views on the decades-long conflict in the Middle East.
