About
The Israel Anti-Boycott Act is a U.S. bill (H.R. 1697) designed to counter the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement by prohibiting American citizens from supporting boycotts against Israel, including those promoted by international organizations like the UN, and imposing penalties on entities boycotting Israel or Israeli settlements.
