US lawmakers blast EU's product labeling plan

US lawmakers issued a resolution on Thursday in condemnation of the European Union's decision to label products made by Israel in the occupied West Bank.

The resolution by a bipartisan group of four Congress members said "such actions undermine efforts to achieve a negotiated" Israeli-PA compromise.

The resolution says the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement has called on Europe to go beyond product labeling products and completely ban products made by companies that operate in the occupied West Bank.
