Prohibits the obligation or expenditure of funds for assistance to Egypt unless the President certifies to Congress that Egypt is honoring its commitments under the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty.
This bill blocks U.S. aid to Egypt unless the President certifies in writing to Congress that Egypt is upholding the 1979 peace treaty with Israel. The aid freeze remains in place until that certification is made.
This ties Egypt's access to U.S. military and economic assistance to compliance with the Israel-Egypt peace agreement, giving Congress a leverage point over Egyptian government conduct. The bill's practical impact depends on whether a President interprets Egypt's actions as consistent with the treaty's terms.
