The Biden administration is drawing up plans to require labeling of products originating from West Bank settlements, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing U.S. officials.
It is still unclear if and when such an initiative would take effect as part of the Biden administration’s efforts to turn the screws on Israel following reports of a supposed increase in settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. The report also highlighted Washington's frustration with how Israel is conducting the war in the Gaza Strip.
Products from settlements were prohibited from being labeled in the U.S. as "Made in Israel" until former President Donald Trump reversed the decision, allowing products from the Israeli-administered Area C to be tagged as such.
