UK proposes guidelines to fight municipal boycotts of Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe British government unveils a proposed guideline aimed at counteracting and preventing the passing of resolutions to boycott Israel by local municipalities.
“Authorities should not implement or pursue boycotts other than where formal legal sanctions, embargoes and restrictions have been put in place by the Government,” the proposal reads.
A spokesman for the Board of Deputies of British Jews says his group “warmly welcomes the Government’s measures” since “these boycotts are divisive and undermine good community relations.”
