Delegation Controversy

An Israeli delegation canceled its trip due to concerns over the intentions of two congresswomen, who are seen as promoting boycotts against Israel. Their itinerary suggested a focus on delegitimizing Israel, contrasting sharply with the bipartisan support expressed by other congressional members during their recent visit. The Israeli government, supported by the US ambassador, has taken a firm stance against the BDS movement, viewing it as economic warfare rather than free speech.
