The bill requires the President to impose financial and trade sanctions within 180 days on foreign individuals, companies, and government agencies determined to provide material support to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or affiliated militant groups. Sanctions include freezing U.S. assets and property, blocking transactions, and prohibiting arms sales and export financing. The President must issue guidance within 60 days identifying who qualifies for sanctions and is also required to report on other countries' efforts to disrupt fundraising and money laundering for these organizations.
This measure expands U.S. enforcement tools against entities funding Palestinian militant groups designated as terrorist organizations. It increases pressure on foreign governments and private actors with ties to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and signals congressional intent to broaden sanctions authority before any diplomatic negotiations occur.
