Trump Admin Threatens Disaster Funds for States That Boycott Israeli Companies
Briefly

The Trump administration announced that states and cities that cut ties with Israeli companies will be denied federal disaster preparedness funding. FEMA has stated that the $1.9 billion allocated for state disaster relief is conditional upon maintaining commercial relations with Israeli firms. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem emphasized the enforcement of laws concerning anti-discrimination, claiming the BDS movement is rooted in antisemitism. Presently, no states are boycotting Israeli companies, and many states have already passed anti-BDS legislation.
The Trump administration will deny federal funding for disaster preparedness to states and cities that sever ties with Israeli companies, requiring compliance for $1.9 billion in federal funding.
FEMA’s grant notices state that failing to maintain commercial relations with Israeli companies will result in losing funding, which supports essential emergency services.
