British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's new government is expected to enact a law against boycotts of Israel, the Yediot Aharonot newspaper reports. According to the report, Queen Elizabeth will announce the new law in her traditional speech before the Kingdom's new parliament this Thursday.

The law prohibits the boycott of Israel by local councils, municipalities and state-funded institutions. The new law does not explicitly state the name of Israel, but would set a ban on the imposition of a boycott on foreign countries, contrary to the British government's stated position.
