US considering rolling back Trump-era order on West Bank goods labelling – report

Washington is considering rolling back a Trump-era order requiring goods made in Israeli-controlled areas of the West Bank to be labeled as “Made in Israel,” according to an unconfirmed US report.

While the Financial Times report says the move is still under consideration and timing is not final, it comes a day after US President Joe Biden indicated to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington’s policy regarding the war in Gaza will fundamentally change if Israel doesn’t implement a series of concrete steps to address the humanitarian crisis and protect aid workers.

The move was reportedly also considered in February when Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced plans for the construction of more than 3,000 settlement homes in response to a deadly terror shooting in the West Bank, according to the Financial Times.

The US Department of State declines to comment on the report.
