The US House passed the Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act, which would strip federal funds from universities that boycott Israel or restrict Israel-related exchange programs. The 237-169 vote saw 33 Democrats cross party lines, signaling bipartisan support for countering BDS on campus. The bill now moves to the Senate, where its fate is uncertain.
