New York Governor signs anti-BDS law

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation stating that any company which boycotts Israel will be boycotted by the State of New York. The legislation was signed two hours before the yearly Israel parade in New York City in the presence of Israel Consul General of New York Ido Aharoni and Director of the Jewish Conference of Presidents Malcolm Honlein. Cuomo promised to compile a list of businesses and organizations that support BDS and will instruct state institutions not to work with and divest from them.
