Bill overview
The Israel Anti-Boycott Act aims to strengthen U.S. efforts to counter international boycotts targeting Israel. It expands existing authorities under the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to specifically address and prohibit participation in boycotts or requests for boycotts imposed by international governmental organizations like the United Nations and the European Union. The bill broadens the definition of ‘covered person’ to include various entities and individuals, and removes imprisonment as a potential penalty for certain violations, focusing instead on monetary fines. It also reinforces Congressional sentiment regarding U.S. engagement with Israel and its strategic partnership.
