The Department of Homeland Security appears to have changed its policy that previously withheld disaster relief from cities that boycott Israel.
The original policy said the Federal Emergency Management Agency would withhold funding for a city or state that was found to have cut or limited its “commercial relations” with Israel. Following online controversy, the DHS issued a statement saying there were no FEMA requirements tethered to Israel and apparently updated its policy, removing the excerpt about boycotting Israel.
‘Those who engage in racial discrimination should not receive a single dollar of federal funding.’
“There is NO FEMA requirement tied to Israel in any current [notice of funding opportunity],” the DHS statement reads. “No states have lost funding, and no new conditions have been imposed.”
