Bill > HR2346

This bill requires the U.S. President to impose sanctions on the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), a Palestinian terrorist group active in the Gaza Strip since 2000, and its associated entities. The bill provides detailed findings about the PRC's history of terrorist attacks, including their involvement in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and resulted in 250 hostages being taken. The sanctions include blocking all property and financial transactions related to the PRC and preventing its members from entering the United States. The bill mandates that any individual or entity affiliated with the PRC will be subject to these sanctions, which will take effect 90 days after the bill's enactment. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of State to submit reports evaluating whether the PRC and related groups like Lion's Den meet the criteria for designation as Specially Designated Global Terrorists or foreign terrorist organizations. The President retains the ability to waive these sanctions for up to 180 days if deemed vital to U.S. national security interests, and sanctions can be terminated if the group stops engaging in terrorist activities or disbands. The bill aims to hold the PRC accountable for its terrorist actions and prevent future attacks by restricting its financial and operational capabilities.
