The United States House of Representatives approved legislation on Thursday that would bar federal funding for universities that boycott Israel. The Republican-backed measure advances a policy linking higher education funding to stances on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The vote has drawn swift backlash from rights advocates. Critics argue that the legislation infringes upon the constitutionally protected freedom of speech of Americans in order to benefit a foreign nation.
