The House of Representatives on Tuesday blocked a war powers resolution aimed at removing US armed forces from hostilities in Lebanon.

The measure, sponsored by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, failed in a 189-235 vote.

On Monday, Tlaib urged Congress to vote to end US support for the "atrocities and force an end to Israel's invasion and illegal military occupation of Lebanese territory."
