Bill Summary
A BILL To impose sanctions with respect to the system of compensation of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority that supports acts of terrorism.
AI Summary
This bill, the PLO and PA Terror Payments Accountability Act of 2024, aims to impose sanctions on foreign persons and financial institutions that support the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority's (PA) system of compensation for terrorists and their families. The bill defines this "system of compensation" as payments, salaries, and benefits provided to individuals who have committed acts of terrorism, including members of designated foreign terrorist organizations like Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The bill requires the President to impose sanctions, such as blocking property and denying entry into the United States, on any foreign person or entity involved in directing, authorizing, or facilitating this system of compensation. It also requires the President to prohibit or impose strict conditions on foreign financial institutions that process transactions related to the PLO and PA's terror payments. The bill will remain in effect until the Secretary of State certifies that the PLO and PA's system of compensation has ceased.
