Science Minister Ofir Akunis (Likud), currently in the US, held a series of meetings on Tuesday at the University of Maryland and John Hopkins University in Baltimore.
Akunis spoke at length about the BDS (Boycott, Divestments, Sanctions) movement and said that “The movement’s foundations are anti-Semitic, not only anti-Israel. No political dispute can justify labeling or boycotts against Jews or against Israel.”
