EXCLUSIVE — House Republican leaders are threatening to withhold federal funds from colleges and universities if they do not crack down on student-led protests calling for a ceasefire in Israel. 

“House Republicans are demanding higher education take more deliberate action to ensure Jewish students and faculty are protected,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), House GOP chairwoman, told the Washington Examiner in a statement. “With students returning to campus, it has never been more critical that NO taxpayer dollars go to colleges or universities that have enabled antisemitism to take root.”
