(Free Beacon) The Biden administration will renominate a board member at an anti-Israel group to help lead the Small Business Administration, one year after the nominee was blocked by Republicans, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Dilawar Syed served on the board of Emgage Action — a group that describes Israel as an “apartheid state” and defends the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement — until at least 2021, when President Joe Biden nominated him as deputy administrator at the SBA, according to federal disclosure records.
Syed is one of 85 failed nominees whom the Biden administration is resubmitting for confirmation by the new Senate, the Journal reported on Tuesday.
