To prohibit United States assistance for the Palestinian Authority and for programs, projects, and activities in the West Bank and Gaza, unless certain conditions are met.
Summary
This bill would halt all United States financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority and any federally funded programs or projects in the West Bank and Gaza. To resume this aid, the President would be required to officially certify that Palestinian leadership has publicly rejected violence, ended the promotion of anti-Israel sentiment, and taken active steps to dismantle terrorist organizations.
For everyday citizens, this legislation means that U.S. taxpayer dollars would not be used for regional development, infrastructure, or government support in these areas until specific security and peace-related benchmarks are met. The bill's primary impact is to create a strict set of conditions that the Palestinian government must fulfill before receiving any further American financial support.
