Israeli ambassador to US sends festive presents from occupied territories

Holiday gifts from the Israeli embassy in the United States this year will be deliberately sourced from settlements in the occupied territories of the West Bank and Golan Heights, the country’s US ambassador has announced.
Ron Dermer said in a letter posted to social media on Tuesday that the gesture was intended to combat the boycott, divestments and sanctions (BDS) campaign, which he described as “the latest effort by Israel’s enemies to destroy the one and only Jewish state”.
