Tlaib represents a district with a large Arab-American population.
She has been highly critical of Israel in its war on Gaza, describing its actions in Gaza as genocide.
But her comments have also evoked outrage from many of her colleagues.
The Republican-led House voted last year to censure her for her statements regarding the war.
Tlaib said her criticism was directed toward Israel’s government and its leadership under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and vowed she “will not be silenced.”
