This bill aims to codify Executive Order 14115 , permanently imposing sanctions on individuals who undermine peace, security, and stability in the West Bank. It mandates that the sanctions specified in Executive Order 14115, as they existed on January 19, 2025, shall be in effect and remain so indefinitely. A key provision of the bill is the reinstatement of any sanctions that were previously imposed under Executive Order 14115 but subsequently revoked. The legislation also outlines a process for the President to terminate sanctions for a specific person, requiring notice to appropriate congressional committees and assurances that the individual has ceased the sanctioned activity and will not engage in it again. This ensures ongoing accountability while allowing for conditional relief from sanctions.
