This bill directs the President to impose economic and immigration sanctions on the Popular Resistance Committees (a Palestinian militant group) and associated entities within 90 days of enactment. The sanctions include freezing any assets the group holds in the United States and banning members from entering the country or obtaining visas. The bill also requires the State Department to report within 90 days on whether the Lions' Den (another Palestinian militant group founded in 2022) and the Popular Resistance Committees meet the legal criteria for official designation as terrorist organizations, with follow-up reports every two years thereafter. The President retains authority to waive sanctions for up to 180-day periods if necessary for national security, or to terminate them if the targeted entities cease terrorism activities or dissolve. There is no new funding associated with this legislation, as it uses existing authorities under terrorism and immigration law.
