It is the sense of Congress that— the Government of the United States should use its voice, vote, and influence with and in international governmental organizations to actively oppose politically motivated actions to boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel; the Government of the United States combats anti-Israel boycotts and other discriminatory activity under the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (subtitle B of title XVII of Public Law 115–232 ), under part VI of title X of the Tax Reform Act of 1976 ( Public Law 94–455 ; 90 Stat. 1649) (commonly referred to as the Ribicoff Amendment ), through trade promotion authorities, in free trade agreements, and in accession negotiations to the World Trade Organization; however, due to the increased anti-Israel economic activity in international governmental organizations, it is necessary to update Federal authorities to combat anti-Israel boycotts and other discriminatory activity in such fora, including the United Nations Human Rights Council; actions to boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel represent a concerted effort to extract concessions from Israel outside of direct negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians; and the United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014 ( Public Law 113–296 ; 128 Stat. 4075) should be fully implemented through enhanced, governmentwide, coordinated United States-Israel scientific and technological cooperation in civilian areas, such as with respect to energy, water, agriculture, alternative fuel technology, civilian space technology, and security in order to counter the effects of actions to boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel.
