New Hampshire bans state contracts with companies involved in Israel boycotts
Fox News
Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu on Thursday issued an executive order forbidding state contracts with companies actively boycotting Israel.
The executive order signed by Gov. Chris Sununu makes New Hampshire the 37th state to enact such regulations, according to the Israeli-American Coalition for Action. Shawn Evenhaim, the coalition's chairman, praised Sununu for "standing up against national origin discrimination and defending the deep cultural and commercial ties between Israel and New Hampshire."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, however, condemned the order as "a total assault on our First Amendment rights." CAIR, the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, has successfully challenged similar regulations in other states.
