Stand with Israel Act of 2014 - 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.
This bill blocks all direct U.S. aid, loans, and debt relief to the Palestinian Authority unless the President certifies that the PA has formally recognized Israel as a Jewish state, renounced terrorism, removed terrorists from its security forces, stopped funding incitement against America and Israel, pledged not to wage war on Israel, and upheld past agreements.
The bill cuts off a major funding stream to Palestinian governance unless strict political and security conditions are met. It sets recognition of Israel as a Jewish state as a prerequisite for U.S. aid—a threshold that shapes what the PA must concede in any negotiation.
