Senator Ted Cruz: ‘Joe Biden Is Pathologically Obsessed With Undermining Israel’

United States Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued a statement today in response to the Biden administration’s reinstatement of a boycott against scientific and technological collaboration involving Jewish individuals residing in Yehuda and Shomron.

“Joe Biden and Biden administration officials are pathologically obsessed with undermining Israel. Since day one of their administration, they have launched campaigns against our Israeli allies that are granular, whole of government, and done in secret,” the Senator stated.

“This new boycott of Israeli Jews is yet another example. The State Department is telling the entire US government not to cooperate with Jews in Judea and Samaria. And, of course, it was sent to Congress in secret and only revealed because reporters found out,” he added.

According to Cruz, “The Biden administration defends funding scientific research in Wuhan with the Chinese Communist Party, but they’re discriminating against and banning cooperation with Jews based on where they live.”

The Senator concluded: “I will do everything possible to reverse this decision and prohibit such antisemitic discrimination by the US government in the future.”

Earlier on Sunday, it was revealed that the US government would no longer provide funding or engage in research, development, and scientific collaboration projects in Judea and Samaria. This decision, which involved reversing a policy change from the Trump administration, was made by the US State Department two years ago but recently required practical implementation due to a grant request submitted by researchers from Ariel University, located beyond the so-called ‘Green Line.’
