Biden Admin Secretly Ended Trump Policy of Cooperation With Israeli Science and Tech Institutions in Judea and Samariahttps://legalinsurrection.com/2023/06/biden-admin-secretly-ended-trump-policy-of-cooperation-with-israeli-science-and-tech-institutions-in-judea-and-samaria/Two weeks ago, the State Department informed Israel that the United States would no longer fund research projects in the West Bank, the Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem with Israeli science and tech institutions, the Times of Israel reports. The move restores the policy that was in place from 1967 until late 2020, when President Trump reversed it, removing existing bans on taxpayer-funded cooperation with entities in those restricted areas.
In fact, as reported in Axios, the decision to reinstate the prior policy banning cooperation with projects in the settlements was made early on in Biden’s presidency. But it came to light only recently when one of the institutions in those areas submitted an application for research funding. Its hand now forced, the State Department re-implemented the prior policy restrictions.
Who, in the real world, will suffer most in this part of Israel? Jews who want to attend these universities near their homes or Arabs who want to attend these universities near their homes. This policy was stupid from day one in 1967 and became stupider as the affected
Beyond the Pale universities became established and grew.
