Stop Funding Terrorism Act - Prohibits any direct U.S. assistance, loan guarantee, or debt relief to the Palestinian Authority (PA) or any affiliated governing entity or leadership organization. States that such prohibition shall have no effect for a fiscal year if the President certifies to Congress that the PA has: formally recognized Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state and publicly recognized the state of Israel, renounced terrorism and purged all individuals with terrorist ties from the security services, terminated funding of anti-American and anti-Israel incitement, publicly pledged to not engage in war with Israel, and honored previous diplomatic agreements.
Blocks all U.S. aid, loans, and debt forgiveness to the Palestinian Authority unless the President certifies that the PA has recognized Israel as a Jewish state, renounced terrorism and removed terrorists from security services, stopped funding incitement against America and Israel, pledged not to wage war on Israel, and kept past diplomatic commitments.
This sets conditional aid requirements that the PA would need to meet to receive U.S. funding. The certification requirements effectively give the President discretion to deny aid based on assessments of PA actions on recognition, security practices, and incitement — factors that shape the terms of any future Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
