UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the Conservative government will pass a law outlawing public bodies from engaging with Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS). BDS is an international movement that aims to isolate Israel by “forcing companies, institutions, and governments” to end economic support to the majority Jewish state, according to reports.
The news was announced on Dec. 15 by UK Special Envoy for post-Holocaust issues, Eric Pickles, who spoke at the International Institute for Strategic Dialogue’s conference in Jerusalem.
