Key Points

  • Would require the President to sanction foreign individuals or groups tied to illegal violence in the West Bank, including attacks on civilians or property destruction.
  • Sanctions would include freezing any U.S.-connected assets and blocking U.S. people and businesses from doing transactions with the sanctioned person.
  • People targeted could also be barred from entering the U.S., including canceling existing visas.
  • The bill makes exceptions for U.S. intelligence activities and for humanitarian help like food, medicine, and medical devices.
  • Would require regular reports to Congress naming who was sanctioned or waived, what they did, and steps being taken to reduce violence.
