PEACE Act

This legislation directs the Department of State to enhance its focus on combating antisemitism and international terrorism across Europe. It establishes a Sense of Congress that the Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs should assess these persistent and growing threats, which are deemed important to U.S. foreign policy. Furthermore, the Under Secretary for Political Affairs is encouraged to engage European governments on transatlantic cooperation to counter these threats, which could impact transatlantic stability and U.S. citizens' safety. A central provision requires the Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs to provide briefings to appropriate congressional committees , including the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations Committees. These briefings must occur within 180 days of the bill's enactment and annually for the subsequent two years, detailing the State Department's assessments and diplomatic efforts concerning antisemitism and international terrorism in Europe.
