Bill > HR7645

This bill, titled the "Ceasefire Compliance Act of 2026," aims to prohibit the use of defense articles originating from the United States in the West Bank and Gaza unless specific conditions are met. It establishes a reporting requirement for the Secretary of State to certify Israel's compliance with a ceasefire agreement, humanitarian aid provisions, and policies against forced displacement or annexation in Gaza and the West Bank. If Israel is found to be in violation of these conditions, the United States would be prohibited from selling, exporting, or transferring any new U.S.-origin defense articles to Israel for use in those territories, and existing articles would be restricted from such use. The bill also mandates the creation of an end-use monitoring group to track the deployment of U.S.-origin defense articles and imposes further restrictions if violations are detected, with a limited waiver authority for the President if deemed vital to national security. The legislation emphasizes the importance of maintaining the October 10, 2025, ceasefire agreement and advancing a peace plan, while also clarifying that it does not impede U.S. self-defense, intelligence sharing, or certain defensive assistance to Israel, nor does it limit humanitarian aid to Gaza.
