Area C ?under the Oslo Accords ?\u2013? will be required to ?mark ?goods as ?\u2019Israel\u2019, ?\u2019Product of Israel\u2019, or \u2018Made in Israel\u2019 ?when exporting to the United States.\u201d\n\nYesterday, Senator Cotton sent a letter with Senate colleagues urging the change in U.S. customs policy.\n\n\u201cAnti-Israel demagogues like the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions gang have long weaponized country-of-origin rules in their efforts to delegitimize Israel and discriminate against its goods. I commend the administration for heeding my call to end the discriminatory treatment of Israeli goods produced in Judea and Samaria, so they may be labeled properly, \u2018Made in Israel.\u2019\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-06-28T00:39:51Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-praises-change-allowing-labeling-of-israeli-goods"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1311070993542671, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
