Calls for the United States to discontinue all financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority and urge its allies to do the same, unless and until the Palestinian Authority demonstrates a 100-percent maximum effort to curtail terrorism.
This non-binding resolution calls on the US government to stop all financial aid to the Palestinian Authority and push allies to do the same, unless the PA meets a 100-percent standard for stopping terrorism. It sets a condition so strict that it effectively blocks aid indefinitely, since no government typically certifies that standard.
This resolution, though non-binding, signals congressional intent to leverage aid as pressure on Palestinian governance for counterterrorism. The 100-percent threshold makes aid resumption essentially impossible without a separate act of Congress, entrenching a restrictive aid stance aligned with Israeli security priorities.
