The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to advance a resolution to censure Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. The resolution accuses Tlaib of "promoting false narratives" and "calling for the destruction of the state of Israel" in her remarks on the Israel-Hamas war. Tlaib, who is of Palestinian heritage, has been facing Republican-led efforts to censure her for her comments critical of Israel and in support of Palestinians. If the resolution is passed on Wednesday, Tlaib will be officially censured.

The censure resolution was introduced by Georgia GOP Representative Rich McCormick and passed with a vote of 234-188. While most Democrats voted against the resolution, 22 Democrats sided with Republicans to advance the censure process. Tlaib has defended herself against the censure attempts, arguing that they are an effort to silence her and claiming that her "colleagues have resorted to distorting my positions in resolutions filled with obvious lies."

This censure resolution follows previous attempts by Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene to censure Tlaib, which fell through due to objections to the language used in the resolution. Tlaib has been a vocal critic of the Israeli government's actions in the ongoing conflict with Hamas, but she maintains that her criticisms should not be conflated with antisemitism.
