Calls upon: (1) the Clinton administration to investigate and report to the Congress on the Palestinian Authority's role in enforcing a policy that selling land to Jews is a crime punishable by death; and (2) the Authority to denounce this policy. Prohibits providing foreign assistance to the Authority until this policy is reversed.
This resolution calls on the Clinton administration to investigate whether the Palestinian Authority enforces a law criminalizing land sales to Jews and to report findings to Congress. It also demands the Palestinian Authority denounce the policy and prohibits U.S. foreign aid to the Authority until the policy is reversed.
The resolution uses U.S. aid as leverage to pressure the Palestinian Authority on a specific domestic governance issue tied to Israeli settlement dynamics. It frames Palestinian land law as a human rights violation warranting aid cutoff, a mechanism that has historically shaped the terms of Palestinian Authority compliance with U.S.-backed policies.
