Is Trump envoy Jason Greenblatt helping Israel violate US law?
Jason Greenblatt, the Trump administrationās āpeace processā envoy, met last week with Gilad Erdan, Israelās minister of strategic affairs and public security who oversees Israelās global operation to combat BDS ā the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement for Palestinian rights.
Greenblatt took to Twitter to laud his āgreat meetingā with Erdan to discuss BDS, which he claimed is āanti-Semitic and hurts Israelis and Palestinians.ā He also reaffirmed the āunshakable bond between our two countries.ā
If Greenblatt and Erdan discussed coordinating efforts between Israel and the United States to counter BDS, then Greenblatt may be assisting a foreign government to violate a little known provision of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA).
According to this provision, if the president determines that a foreign country āengaged in a consistent pattern of acts of intimidation or harassment directed against individuals in the United States,ā then āno letters of offer may be issued, no credits or guarantees may be extended, and no export licenses may be issuedā for the export of US arms to that country.
