The U.S. announced that imported products made in some Israeli settlements can be labeled as “Made in Israel,” Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said Thursday during a visit to the country.
Pompeo said in a statement his agency is “initiating new guidelines to ensure that country of origin markings for Israeli and Palestinian goods are consistent with our reality-based foreign policy approach.”
