The Zionist Organization of America called on U.S. President Joe Biden not to succumb to pressure by anti-Israel organizations that want him to revoke a new U.S. policy on labeling goods from Judea and Samaria as “Made in Israel.”
ZOA national president Mort Klein, chair Mark Levenson and director of special projects Elizabeth Berney said in a statement on Wednesday that they “strongly urge” the Biden administration to retain the product-labeling regulations put in place by the Trump administration.
The appeal comes in response to a request by six left-wing Jewish organizations that the Biden administration rescind the policy to label products manufactured in Israeli-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria, more commonly known as the West Bank, as “Israel,” “Product of Israel” or “Made in Israel” when exported to the United States.
