Detailed Factual Report
The Rhode Island city becomes the largest municipality to vote in favor of Israel divestment.
Voters in Providence, Rhode Island, have approved a ballot measure that could result in the city divesting public funds from Israel, according to local media, in a major victory for the Israel boycott movement.
With 81 of 82 polling locations partially reported, the Rhode Island Board of Elections tallies 75% voting to approve the measure versus 25% rejecting. Both the Rhode Island Current and the Boston Globe both report the measure was approved.
The ordinance calls for the capital city to refrain from investing in “foreign countries conducting ethnic cleansing, apartheid, illegal military occupation, or genocide.” Though the ballot language does not mention Israel by name, it was heavily supported by local pro-Palestinian groups and opposed by some Jewish and pro-Israel groups.
