Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of the United States wrote on Twitter, Monday, "It’s time for Arab countries to abandon boycotts and engage Israel.
Responding to a conference in London last week, in which public figures from Arab countries criticized the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel, Pompeo added, "Middle East divisions equal instability. Arab thinkers who risk their lives to bravely advocate a regional vision of peace and coexistence shouldn’t face retribution. We need dialogue."
