A war powers resolution sponsored by Representative Rashida Tlaib that sought to force President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from military operations in Lebanon suffered an overwhelming defeat in the House of Representatives on Thursday, according to The Hill.

Lawmakers rejected the measure by a lopsided 324-92-2 vote. The opposition included a broad bipartisan coalition of 207 Republicans, 117 Democrats, and Independent Representative Kevin Kiley of California, all of whom voted against the proposal.

Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky was the lone Republican to support the resolution. Meanwhile, Democratic Representatives Betty McCollum of Minnesota and Derek Tran of California voted present.

Tlaib’s resolution argued that Congress had never granted formal approval for the current U.S. military involvement connected to events in Lebanon.

“Congress has not declared war with respect to, or provided any specific statutory authorization for, United States military participation in the military action by Israel in Lebanon, and the United States has not designated any actor inside Lebanon under any authorization for use of military force,” it stated.

Following the vote, Tlaib defended the legislation on social media, repeating accusations against Israel while urging an end to military operations.

“11 children are being killed every day in Lebanon. The indiscriminate bombings must stop. The government of Israel has expanded strikes across the country despite a ceasefire,” she wrote.

Tlaib did not mention that Hezbollah has repeatedly violated the ceasefire agreement by launching rockets and explosive drones at Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.

The measure faced resistance not only from Republicans but also from senior Democrats. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York and other top Democratic leaders released a joint statement disputing the central premise of the resolution.

They argued that “currently there are no US servicemembers involved in combat operations or hostilities in Lebanon.”

Democratic leaders further noted that if congressional action were eventually required, another war powers resolution introduced by Tlaib would be a more appropriate vehicle. That separate measure also calls for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from combat operations in Lebanon but specifically states that “nothing in this concurrent resolution may be construed to prevent or limit security cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces or the protection of diplomatic facilities.”

Tlaib has remained one of Israel’s most outspoken critics throughout her time in Congress and has intensified those attacks during the war against Hamas in Gaza.

Following the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre in Israel, she criticized what she described as Israel’s “apartheid system” and condemned the United States for providing billions of dollars in support of what she called “the apartheid government.”

She has also repeatedly defended her use of the slogan “from the river to the sea,” insisting that it represents Palestinian Arab freedom, despite widespread criticism that the phrase is a call for the elimination of the State of Israel.

Tlaib additionally faced backlash after accusing the IDF of “bombing” a hospital in Gaza, despite evidence showing that the explosion was caused by a misfired rocket launched by the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization.
