This bill would authorize the President to impose sanctions (such as asset freezes and travel bans) on foreign individuals and entities that have helped finance or facilitate Israeli settlement construction in the E1 area of the West Bank, a zone between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea.
E1 is a strategically sensitive area that Palestinian officials and international observers have flagged as critical to any future Palestinian statehood. Sanctioning foreign actors who enable settlement there would represent a shift toward congressional enforcement of restrictions on settlement expansion, which has historically received little legislative scrutiny.
