“US officials in Jerusalem and Washington prepared a draft statement attributed to … Rubio condemning plans by the UK, France, and Canada to block imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank,” the report said.

The document is dated 8 September and, according to two sources, was pushed by David Milstein, an aide to US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.

“These tactics unacceptably draw from the playbook of the antisemitic boycotts, divestments and sanctions movement,” the draft document stipulates, according to Reuters.
