US EditionHouse leadership yanks Israel anti-boycott bill from consideration due to ‘issues’
- The U.S. House of Representatives planned a vote on the bipartisan IGO Anti-Boycott Act in May 2025 in Washington, DC.
- The bill aims to expand antiboycott laws to penalize support of international governmental organization boycotts targeting Israel amid Israel's ongoing war with Hamas since October 2023.
- Key critics, including MAGA-aligned lawmakers Marjorie Taylor Greene, Anna Paulina Luna, and Thomas Massie, oppose the bill for infringing on First Amendment free speech rights and the traditional American right to boycott.
- H.R. 867 would impose penalties including up to $1 million in fines and a possible 20-year prison sentence for violations. Supporters argue the bill defends Israel against discriminatory boycotts, while critics caution it may suppress free political expression.
- Due to divisions within the Republican Party and concerns over free speech, the bill’s vote was postponed indefinitely, leaving its future uncertain despite its bipartisan sponsorship.
