This bill would prohibit all U.S. federal funding from going to programs, projects, or activities in Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The funding ban would remain in place until the President certifies to Congress that Hamas, Hezbollah, and other groups responsible for the October 2023 attack on Israel have agreed to permanently stop hostilities. The legislation affects any federal assistance currently directed to these Palestinian territories, effectively cutting off U.S. aid to the region. The bill does not specify a dollar amount or timeline, instead making the continuation of aid dependent on achieving a permanent ceasefire agreement with the specified groups. The measure was introduced in October 2023 in response to the Hamas attacks on Israel and reflects the sponsors' position that U.S. support should be withheld from Palestinian areas until a comprehensive peace agreement is reached.
