Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The GAZA Act would prohibit entry to the United States for any foreign national holding a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority for a period of two years from the bill's enactment. The legislation would prevent such individuals from being admitted, paroled into the country, or issued visas and other entry documentation. This ban would affect Palestinians traveling to the United States on Palestinian Authority-issued passports during the specified two-year window. The bill does not contain any funding provisions or authorize expenditures. The restriction would automatically expire two years after the law takes effect unless Congress votes to extend it.
