Blocks all U.S. federal funding for programs and activities in Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank and Gaza until the President certifies that Hamas, Hezbollah, and other groups responsible for the October 2023 attacks have agreed to permanent cessation of hostilities. The bill includes non-binding congressional findings opposing U.S. support for various Palestinian and Iranian entities.
This would freeze all U.S. assistance to Palestinians — including aid for healthcare, education, and humanitarian programs — pending a certification standard that may be difficult or impossible to meet. It represents a categorical shift from conditional aid restrictions to a blanket prohibition, and signals congressional appetite for tightening constraints on Palestinian funding regardless of humanitarian consequences.
