The Request
I made this request to the Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) on October 19, 2026:
Please search all emails sent to or received by Executive Office of Economic Development email addresses.
Limit the search to emails containing the keyword "israel" or "isreal"
Limit the search to emails dated August 12, 2026 to present (when this request is processed).
Please include any attachments to matched emails.
We narrowed the request to just emails sent by three people:
- Eric Paley, Secretary of Economic Development
- Jeevan Ramapriya, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Office of International Trade and Investment (MOITI)
- Margaret Quackenbush, Senior Director of Communications & Public Affairs
The Response
Just 14 pages. The highlights:
Mind & Startup event
page 1 Israeli Consul General Benjamin Sharoni invited Eric Paley to an event "Mind & Startup: How Israeli Tech is Reshaping Brain Health,"
Consulate Meeting
page 5 Building access instructions for "Meeting with Consul General Sharoni & Mr. Yossi Hayut / Sec. Paley"
Letter opposing Dutch ban on settler goods
The letter "Combat Sanctions Targeting Jews, Jerusalem, & US Commerce" was addressed to Governor Maura Healey. Ramapriya forwarded it to two people:
- page 3 Kim Tran, the Dutch attaché for Netherlands Innovation Network, Boston
- page 4 David Friedman, Boston Red Sox Chief Compliance Officer. He served on the Commission on Combatting Antisemitism
