Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Representative Nadler and others, would allow the U.S. to punish foreign individuals who commit violence or destroy property in the West Bank. It specifically targets extremist violence and actions that force families to leave their homes or villages.
  • If someone is targeted by these rules, the U.S. government would freeze their bank accounts and any property they own in the United States. They would also be banned from traveling to the U.S., and any travel visas they already have would be canceled immediately.
  • The plan also targets leaders of groups that take part in this violence. It would even apply to people who provide money, weapons, or other support to those committing the acts or to the groups that organize them.
  • Congress argues that this violence is a threat to U.S. national security and regional stability. They believe these actions make it much harder to reach a 'two-state solution,' which is the goal of having two independent countries where both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace.
  • To keep the process transparent, the Treasury Department would have to send a report to Congress every 90 days. This report would list exactly who has been sanctioned and explain why those individuals were chosen.
