This bill seeks to codify existing sanctions that deny visas to individuals who are members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and officials of the Palestinian Authority (PA). These sanctions, originally from the Middle East Peace Facilitation Act, would remain in effect on and after the bill's enactment date. The legislation includes a provision allowing the Secretary of State to waive these sanctions on a case-by-case basis for renewable 180-day periods. Such a waiver would only be granted if the Secretary determines that the PLO and PA are not undermining prior peace commitments, internationalizing their conflict with Israel, or supporting terrorism, including through incitement or payments to terrorists. All provisions of this act are scheduled to terminate seven years after its enactment.
