Bill > S2667

This bill establishes comprehensive sanctions targeting individuals and entities responsible for violence or actions that threaten peace and stability in the West Bank. The legislation authorizes the President to impose sanctions on foreign persons who engage in or support violent acts against civilians, including those who commit violence, threaten civilians, cause displacement through fear, destroy property, or seize property without consent. Specifically, sanctions can be applied to individuals who lead organizations involved in such activities, provide material support to sanctioned persons, or participate in terrorist acts. The sanctions include blocking financial assets, prohibiting transactions with sanctioned individuals, and rendering them ineligible for U.S. visas or entry. The bill provides exceptions for humanitarian assistance, authorized intelligence activities, and national security interests, and allows the President to waive sanctions if certain conditions are met. Additionally, the legislation requires the President to submit periodic reports to congressional committees detailing the implementation of sanctions, listing sanctioned individuals, and describing the ongoing situation of violence in the West Bank. The bill defines key terms such as terrorism, entities, and United States persons to provide clear guidelines for its implementation, with the ultimate goal of preventing violence and supporting prospects for a two-state solution in the region.
