NEW: House has voted 269-144 to ban giving funds to the State Department to cite the Gaza Health Ministry, undermining the organization’s death & injury figures.
The amendment was led by Democratic Reps. Moskowitz & Gottheimer and Republicans Wilson (SC), Lawler, Miller (WV).
Rep. Rashida Tlaib on effort to erase Gaza death toll:
"There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don't even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all. Not when they're alive—and now, not even when they're dead."

Do you believe the decision to ban funds reflects broader attitudes toward Palestinians, as suggested by Rep. Rashida Tlaib?
