This bill converts an existing executive order into permanent law by codifying sanctions against individuals and entities undermining peace and stability in the West Bank. The legislation reinstates sanctions that were previously revoked under a different executive order and keeps them in effect unless the President takes action to lift them. To remove sanctions against a specific person, the President must notify Congress at least 15 days in advance (or within three business days in emergencies) and certify that the person has stopped the sanctioned activity and pledged not to resume it. The bill affects any persons subject to these West Bank-related sanctions and requires oversight from the Senate and House committees on foreign relations, banking, and financial services.
