Key Points

Would let Trump sanction foreign government representatives who refuse a U.S. request to admit Palestinians from Gaza for humanitarian entry.
Sanctions could include freezing the person’s U.S.-connected property and blocking U.S. people and companies from doing business with them.
People put on the list could also be barred from entering the U.S., and any existing visas could be canceled right away.
Trump could also suspend a country’s special U.S. partner status and pause foreign aid, including security help, if that country refuses the request.
The bill says it does not apply to Israel, and the sanctions power would end 5 years after the law takes effect. Trump could waive sanctions case-by-case for U.S. national interest.
