The censure resolution against Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., saw the support of a lone Democratic lawmaker along with most House Republicans, while a group of six Republican lawmakers voted to table it. The resolution has not yet been decided and is expected to have a vote on Wednesday, following criticism aimed at Tlaib for using and defending the phrase “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which is known to call for Israel’s destruction.
Meanwhile, in response to the Israel-Hamas war, Israeli archeologists have been utilizing techniques used for excavating ancient sites to identify remains of missing individuals following a Hamas attack.

IDF released footage showing Gazans evacuating through a corridor towards the southern part of the Gaza Strip as the war against Hamas heightens. Simultaneously, Hollywood actress Gal Gadot organized a screening of a video documenting Hamas atrocities during the surprise attack on Israel, aiming to raise awareness about the ongoing conflict.
Amidst the recent hostilities, a Jewish studies professor at Union College is confronting antisemitism from students, and Singapore has issued warnings of potential jail time for those wearing “apparel and paraphernalia with foreign national emblems” related to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Additionally, as the war continues, IDF is aiding in the facilitation of humanitarian aid into Gaza, clarifying that their combat is against Hamas and not the civilians of Gaza.
