Statele Unite blochează finanțarea federală pentru universitățile care boicotează Israelul

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to block federal funding for universities that boycott Israel. The "Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act" received bipartisan support but faces further approval in the Senate. The measure targets institutions that restrict student participation in academic programs in Israel or limit access for Israeli students. Critics argue it infringes on free speech, while supporters claim it prevents discrimination against Israel. The bill follows increased scrutiny of universities by the Trump administration regarding their handling of anti-Semitism and pro-Palestinian protests. The legislation could impact funding for several universities if enacted.
