Senior American officials in Israel and the U.S. prepared a draft condemning the sanctions led by the British against trade in Judea and Samaria products. Reuters reported that the statement was supposed to be signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Two sources told the news agency that it was proposed that Rubio describe the Kingdom's measures as 'hostile to Israel and contributing to antisemitism,' but the statement did not receive support from the White House and senior State Department officials and therefore was not published. That same day, Rubio refrained from explicitly condemning the sanctions.
