Just weeks after\u2062 Senate Democrats opened the door for the\u2064 United\u200c States to discriminate against \u2062Israeli\u2064 products, Rep. \u200cClaudia Tenney (R., N.Y.) is leading the charge\u200b with legislation that\u2062 would prevent the Biden administration from rescinding an executive order. \u200cThis\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-gov-ducey-vetoes-sex-education-bill-signs-executive-order-instead\/\" title=\"Arizona Gov. Ducey Vetoes Sex Education Bill, Signs Executive Order Instead\">order ensures<\/a> that products made in contested \u200bareas of\u2063 Israel, like the West Bank and \u2063Gaza Strip,\u200d are properly labeled\u200d as &#8220;made in \u200dIsrael.&#8221;\n  <\/p>\n<p>    \u2064Supporters of the anti-Semitic \u2062Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement have long \u200dsought \u200dto remove the &#8220;made in Israel&#8221; label from products manufactured in\u2063 settlements. They argue that these areas\u2062 are not technically part of Israel. Tenney&#8217;s Anti-BDS Labeling Act would effectively\u2064 prevent\u2063 the U.S.\u2063 government \u200cfrom\u200c segregating products made in these\u200c territories.\n  <\/p>\n<p>    This legislation, which is expected to receive widespread support in the Republican-controlled House,\u200b comes on the heels of Senate Democrats rejecting a measure that \u2064would \u200bhave blocked the Federal Trade Commission from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-democrats-clear-the-way-for-boycott-of-israeli-products\/\" title=\"Senate Democrats pave the way for boycott of Israeli goods.\">penalizing products produced<\/a> by Jews living in contested territories. The Biden administration\u200d also faced criticism for cutting all U.S. funding to \u200bIsraeli research organizations operating in Jewish areas \u2062of\u2064 the West Bank \u2062and Gaza Strip, a\u200d move praised by BDS advocates. \u200cCongressional Republicans \u200dview both of \u200bthese actions as\u200c attempts to isolate \u2062Israel.\n  <\/p>\n<p>    Tenney&#8217;s bill addresses a longstanding issue in U.S.-Israel relations. The Obama administration, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-republicans-are-working-against-dem-attempts-to-boycott-israel\/\" title=\"Republicans oppose Democratic attempts to boycott Israel.\">stopped\u200b labeling goods\u200c produced<\/a> in the West Bank as &#8220;made in Israel&#8221; in 2016, aiming to undermine Israel&#8217;s \u200dclaims\u200b on\u200c the\u200b territory. Last month, the \u200bBiden administration used a similar rationale to cut off \u200dfunds for Israeli scientific organizations in contested \u200dareas. The\u2062 labeling\u2064 issue resurfaced during a Senate debate over penalizing foreign companies for\u200c mislabeling \u2063their goods&#8217; country of \u200borigin, with Sen. Ted Cruz (R., \u200bTexas) pushing an amendment to protect Israeli \u200bgoods, which was \u200dultimately rejected by Democrats.\n  <\/p>\n<p>    Tenney&#8217;s latest measure directly addresses the issue by prohibiting \u2064the \u2063Biden administration from using federal funds to reverse a Trump-era order that requires products made in Israeli-controlled areas to be\u2062 marked as originating from Israel. This would reinforce Israeli control over the areas and prevent further actions undermining Israel&#8217;s sovereignty.\n  <\/p>\n<p>    \u2063  &#8220;The Anti-BDS Labeling Act ensures an accurate representation of products that originate from Israel, Gaza, or Judea and Samaria,&#8221; Tenney stated.\u200c &#8220;This not only upholds existing U.S. policy but also prevents the BDS movement from arbitrarily discriminating\u2062 against goods \u2064made\u2062 in Israeli-controlled areas.&#8221;\n  <\/p>\n<p>    \u200b   Tenney emphasized that House Republicans are \u200bcommitted\u2064 to standing\u2064 against any efforts to delegitimize Israel and to preserving the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/american-cattle-ranchers-go-broke-as-corporate-meatpackers-consolidate-85-percent-of-beef-market\/\" title=\"American Cattle Ranchers Go Broke as Corporate Meatpackers Consolidate 85 Percent of Beef Market\">labeling rule<\/a> without alteration.<br \/>\n\u200d\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Republicans are countering the Biden administration&#8217;s potential labeling of Israeli goods from disputed regions.
