State Dept. Spokesman: Judea-Samaria labeling not a new policy

State Department spokesman Mark Toner on Thursday confirmed the United States is requiring products from Judea and Samaria to be labeled differently, but insisted this was not a new policy.

Speaking to reporters, Toner explained the decision to reissue the policy had been taken after complaints that some Judea and Samaria products had been mislabeled prior to U.S. import.
