This bill converts an executive order into permanent law, requiring the US to maintain sanctions against individuals and entities undermining peace and stability in the West Bank. The President can only lift sanctions if he certifies to Congress that the sanctioned person has stopped the prohibited activity and won't resume it, with 15 days' notice to relevant committees (or 3 business days in emergencies).
This locks in West Bank sanctions at the legislative level, removing a president's unilateral ability to rescind them and creating a congressional check on sanctions relief. It represents an effort to institutionalize restrictions on actors the bill identifies as destabilizing the West Bank.
