JERUSALEM (AP) Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday became the first top U.S. diplomat to visit an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank as the State Department announced that products from the settlements can be labeled Made in Israel in a major policy shift.

The two moves reflected the Trump administrations acceptance of Israeli settlements, which the Palestinians and most of the international community view as a violation of international law and a major obstacle to peace.

Pompeo also announced that the U.S. would brand the international Palestinian-led boycott movement as anti-Semitic and bar any groups that participate in it from receiving government funding. It was not immediately clear which groups would be affected by the move.
