Congress Moves to Boost Investment in Israeli Technology
Measure intended as rebuke to BDS movement, Obama administration
The Obama administration has been criticized for coming out in favor of efforts to label Jewish goods produced in disputed areas of Israel.
The administration issued a directive in January warning the U.S. trade community that it is “not acceptable” to label goods coming from Israeli companies in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as having been produced in “Israel.”
The White House expressed opposition earlier this month to portions of a new trade bill, which it said were too pro-Israel.
As lawmakers pave the way for U.S. states to divest taxpayer funds from anti-Israel companies, another group of legislators is pushing a measure that would encourage the Obama administration to invest in new Israeli technologies, including those that could prevent cyber security attacks and other national security threats.
The latest measure comes in response to efforts by anti-Israel supporters of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS, to convince U.S. companies to stop operating in the Jewish state.
Congressional insiders tracking the new measures said that the efforts are garnering bipartisan support and are aimed at sending a message to the Obama administration, as well as anti-Israel groups, that America remains committed to building U.S.-Israel economic ties.
Israel is the third largest importer of U.S. goods in the Middle East, despite having just two percent of the region’s population. Israel only ranks behind oil rich Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as top importers of U.S. products
