ARAB LEAGUE BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL 
SEC. 7036. It is the sense of the Congress that—

is an impediment to peace in the region and to United States 
investment and trade in the Middle East and North Africa;

reinstated in 1997, should be immediately and publicly termi-
nated, and the Central Office for the Boycott of Israel imme-
diately disbanded; 
(3) all Arab League states should normalize relations with 
their neighbor Israel; 
(4) the President and the Secretary of State should continue 
to vigorously oppose the Arab League boycott of Israel and 
find concrete steps to demonstrate that opposition by, for 
example, taking into consideration the participation of any 
recipient country in the boycott when determining to sell 
weapons to said country; and 
(5) the President should report to Congress annually on 
specific steps being taken by the United States to encourage 
Arab League states to normalize their relations with Israel 
to bring about the termination of the Arab League boycott 
of Israel, including those to encourage allies and trading part-
ners of the United States to enact laws prohibiting businesses
