The US Congress has voted to censure its only Palestinian-American member over comments she made on the Israel-Gaza war.
Michigan Democrat Rahida Tlaib was rebuked for her defence of the chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.
The resolution formally condemned her for “calling for the destruction of the state of Israel”.
The measure passed by 234 to 188 votes. Twenty-two Democrats voted to censure.
Ms Tlaib posted a video to Twitter on Friday that included a clip of protestors using the chant, which critics say calls for Palestinian control of all land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, including Israel.
The video also accused President Joe Biden of supporting genocide in Gaza and called for a ceasefire.
