In a significant policy shift, the Trump administration has announced that states and cities that support boycotts of Israeli companies will be denied federal disaster relief funds. FEMA has stated that disaster preparedness funding, amounting to approximately $1.9 billion, will be contingent upon a rejection of these boycotts. This move has provoked criticism from various organizations, including CAIR, which deemed the condition unconstitutional. The administration’s threat underscores a broader strategy to enforce support for Israel among U.S. states, asserting that financial aid for natural disasters is linked to compliance with this directive.
