Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The West Bank Violence Prevention Act of 2025 authorizes the President to impose sanctions against foreign individuals and entities responsible for violence, property destruction, and forced displacement in the West Bank. The bill targets those engaged in violent acts against civilians, efforts to intimidate Palestinians into leaving their homes, terrorist activities, and officials of organizations involved in such actions. Sanctions include blocking assets held in the United States, denying visas and entry to the country, and revoking existing travel documentation. The bill applies to foreign persons determined to threaten West Bank stability and undermine U.S. foreign policy goals, including the viability of a two-state solution. Within 90 days of enactment and quarterly thereafter, the Treasury Department must report to Congress on implementation and provide names of sanctioned individuals, with limited exceptions for international diplomatic obligations and law enforcement needs.
