A group of Republican senators led by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) have submitted a letter to President Donald Trump calling for U.S. customs policy and guidelines to be amended to ensure that “Made in Israel” labels are placed on Israeli products produced in the Jewish settlements in the West Bank, Judea, and Samaria.
The Nov. 16 letter (pdf) signed by Cotton, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) urges the Trump administration to make the changes before Jan. 20.
