  • •Thirteen state attorneys general signed a letter urging the UK and Netherlands to lift sanctions on Israel.
  • •The sanctions are viewed as harmful to American businesses and align with terrorist objectives.
  • •U.S. laws restrict state agencies from engaging with companies that boycott Israel.

Thirteen U.S. state attorneys general, led by Iowa's Brenna Bird, have called on the UK and Netherlands to rescind recently imposed sanctions on Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria. The letter argues that these sanctions harm American businesses and align the UK and Netherlands with terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. The attorneys general emphasize that U.S. laws prevent government agencies from engaging with companies that boycott Israel, which could lead to economic repercussions for states that enforce these sanctions. The letter highlights the potential negative impact on trade and economic opportunities for American companies, particularly in states that have laws against boycotting Israel. The coalition aims to protect both Israeli sovereignty and American economic interests.
