West Bank Violence Prevention Act of 2025

The West Bank Violence Prevention Act of 2025 aims to deter violence and promote stability in the West Bank by authorizing the imposition of sanctions. It targets foreign persons who are responsible for, complicit in, or directly engaged in acts that threaten peace, security, or stability in the region. These actions include violence against civilians, threats of violence, forced displacement, destruction or seizure of private property, and acts of terrorism. The mandated sanctions involve asset blocking , prohibiting transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities within U.S. jurisdiction. Additionally, sanctioned foreign persons will face visa ineligibility , be inadmissible to the United States, and have any existing visas revoked. The bill includes exceptions for authorized intelligence activities, humanitarian assistance, and cases necessary to comply with international obligations or further U.S. law enforcement objectives. The President retains authority to waive sanctions if it serves U.S. national security interests or to terminate sanctions if the person ceases the prohibited activity and provides assurances against future engagement. Regular reporting to Congress is required, detailing sanctioned individuals, waived sanctions, and an assessment of violence and U.S. efforts in the West Bank. This legislation seeks to protect U.S. national security interests and support the viability of a two-state solution by addressing destabilizing violent acts.
