Sarah Margon Withdraws From State Department Position Due To Anti-Israel Allegations
Political adviser Sarah Margon on Tuesday withdrew her name from consideration to serve as assistant secretary of state for human rights, democracy, and labor amid allegations that she holds anti-Israel views.
Republican Sen. James Risch of Idaho criticized Margon for past tweets he claims expressed support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), which calls for an economic pressure campaign against Israel.
“Airbnb to remove listings in Israeli settlements of occupied West Bank,” she tweeted in Nov. 2018. “Thanks @Airbnb for showing some good leadership here. Other companies should follow suit.”
