A bill introduced on Tuesday in the US House of Representatives would penalize international organizations that boycott Israel.

Introduced by Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), the Israel Anti-Boycott Act would expand the 1979 Export Administration Act "to prohibit boycotts or requests for boycotts imposed by international governmental organizations against Israel," said Zeldin in a statement.

"This legislation would not only reinforce Congress' opposition to the BDS movement, but protects American companies from being forced to provide information to international organizations that peddle this hate-filled movement, and holds those who attempt to violate that protection accountable," he said.

The bill has 59 co-sponsors, including one Democrat, Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York.

Meanwhile, in another blow to the BDS movement in the US this week, the governor of South Dakota on Thursday signed an executive order banning state offices from doing business with companies that boycott Israel.

Following the move by Republican Governor Kristi Noem, South Dakota became the 28th state to pass an anti-Israel boycott measure or bill in the country.

The new executive states that any vendors looking to do business with South Dakota agencies, authorities, commissions, departments or institutions must agree not to participate in boycotts of the Jewish state.

It also applies to companies or contractors with more than five employees and on contracts of $100,000 or more.

Noem, who signed in the capitol Rotunda in Pierre, visited Israel in 2013 while serving as a member of the US House of Representatives.
