AI Summary

This bill, the Anti-BDS Labeling Act, aims to require the continued maintenance of the country of origin markings for imported goods produced in the West Bank or Gaza. Specifically, it would keep in effect the policy published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in 2020 regarding the country of origin marking of these goods, and it would prohibit the use of federal funds to rescind or change this policy. The bill is intended to address the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement that seeks to pressure Israel over its treatment of Palestinians.
