The Senate is expected to vote later this week on confirming a top Biden administration nominee who has received scrutiny from Republicans over his anti-Israel ties.
President Joe Biden renominated Dilawar Syed to be deputy administrator of the Small Business Administration in January after Senate Republicans blocked the now-State Department official's confirmation in September 2021.
Syed was on the board of Emgage Action until at least 2021, according to a letter he sent in March of that year to the Small Business Administration with regard to his nomination. This affiliation proved concerning for Republicans and pro-Israel groups, including the Zionist Organization of America, which said that Syed"would be a danger to American Jews everywhere and to all those who do business with or benefit from Israeli and Jewish businesses.
The organization has also referred to the BDS movement, which is composed of groups that have equated Israeli soldiers and officials to"Nazis," as a"constitutionally protected nonviolent response that seeks to end the occupation," records show. Ernst further said that she"cannot support" an SBA nominee"who won't join in my fight to make it easier for Iowans to achieve their dream."CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
