Israel Anti-Boycott Act

This bill seeks to amend the Export Administration Act of 1979 to prohibit boycotts against Israel fostered by international governmental organizations. It also directs the Export-Import Bank of the United States to oppose boycotts against Israel. The bill emphasizes opposition to actions that attempt to isolate Israel internationally and encourages cooperation in various scientific and technological fields between the US and Israel.

The bill defines terms such as 'actions to boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel', 'international governmental organization', and 'politically motivated'. It clarifies that it does not establish new US policy on issues related to the Arab-Israeli conflict that can only be resolved through direct negotiations between the parties.

Overall, the bill aims to counteract efforts that target Israel through boycotts and promote cooperation between the US and Israel in various areas.
