This bill bars anyone holding a Palestinian Authority passport from entering the United States. It makes such individuals ineligible for visas, admission, parole, or any immigration benefits under U.S. law.
This is a categorical immigration restriction targeting Palestinians based on passport origin, with no exceptions for diplomats, students, or humanitarian cases. It would affect Palestinians' ability to travel to, study in, or conduct business in the United States.
