This bill writes into law an executive order that imposes financial sanctions on individuals and entities undermining peace and stability in the West Bank. It reinstates sanctions that were previously revoked and requires the president to notify Congress at least 15 days before lifting sanctions on any targeted person or entity.
This codifies sanctions targeting West Bank actors into statute, making them harder to reverse without congressional action. The reinstatement clause directly reverses a recent policy shift, locking in consequences for activities the bill frames as destabilizing.
