The GAZA Act would bar any foreign national holding a Palestinian Authority passport from entering the United States. The legislation makes such individuals ineligible for visas, admission, parole, or any other immigration benefits under current U.S. immigration law. This bill affects Palestinian passport holders seeking to travel to or reside in the United States, effectively creating a blanket exclusion based on passport origin. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timeline beyond the effective date upon passage. The legislation was introduced in October 2023 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee but has not advanced further in the legislative process.
