Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill converts an existing executive order into permanent law by requiring that sanctions against individuals undermining peace and security in the West Bank remain in effect indefinitely. The sanctions target persons engaged in activities that destabilize the West Bank region, affecting foreign nationals and entities involved in prohibited conduct. The legislation allows the President to lift sanctions only if they notify Congress that a sanctioned person has stopped the harmful activity and provided reliable assurances against future violations, with Congress receiving at least 15 days' notice before any sanctions are terminated (or 3 business days in emergencies). No new funding is required, as the bill codifies existing sanctions from Executive Order 14115 rather than creating new spending. The bill was introduced in December 2024 and referred to the House Foreign Affairs and Judiciary Committees for consideration.
