This legislation aims to prevent violence in the West Bank, which Congress finds has reached "intolerable levels" due to extremist settler violence, forced displacement, and property destruction. These actions are identified as serious threats to regional peace and stability, undermining U.S. foreign policy objectives, including the viability of a two-state solution. Such activities also pose a direct threat to U.S. national security and interests. The bill mandates the President to impose sanctions on foreign persons determined to be responsible for or complicit in these violent acts. This includes individuals threatening West Bank peace, engaging in violence or threats against civilians, property destruction, or private seizure of property. Sanctions also target leaders of entities involved in such activities, those providing material support, or individuals participating in terrorism affecting the West Bank. The prescribed sanctions include asset blocking of property and interests in the United States, as well as inadmissibility to the United States and visa revocation for targeted individuals. Exceptions are provided for compliance with international obligations or to further U.S. law enforcement objectives, and waivers can be granted for national security interests. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, must submit quarterly reports to Congress detailing the implementation of the Act and listing sanctioned persons.
