🇺🇸🇮🇱 HOUSE PASSES BILL TARGETING UNIVERSITY BOYCOTTS OF ISRAEL: The U.S. House passed the bipartisan Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act on Thursday by a 237-169 vote, which would bar universities from receiving certain federal funding if they participate in commercial or academic boycotts of Israel, including restrictions on exchanges with Israeli institutions. The bill, led by Reps. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) and Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), was supported by 33 Democrats and nearly all Republicans; GOP Reps. Thomas Massie and Warren Davidson joined most Democrats in opposition. The legislation now heads to the Senate.
