U.S. House Passes Anti-BDS Labeling Act in 231-189 Vote to Support Israel

Sep 20, 2024, 12:43 PM

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Anti-BDS Labeling Act, a bill introduced by Rep. Claudia Tenney and supported by Rep. Josh Brecheen and the House GOP. This legislation mandates that goods produced in Israeli-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria be labeled as originating from 'Israel.' The bill aims to counter the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and reaffirms U.S. support for Israel. The act codifies a rule implemented by former President Trump. Sixteen House Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the bill, which passed with a 231-189 vote.
