A bill has been introduced in the Israeli Knesset that would criminalise all boycott activities or boycott advocacy inside or outside Israel. The bill would target those that initiate, encourage, or provide assistance or information about boycotts against Israel. Israeli citizens or residents of Israel could be sued by whoever was harmed by the boycott and would have to pay up to ILS 30,000 (EUR 6,500) in restitution and an additional amount according to the harm established by the Israeli courts. Those that are neither citizens nor residents of Israel would lose the ability of entering Israel for at least ten years and would be forbidden from economic activity in Israel, such as holding an account in an Israeli bank or owning property in Israel.
