45-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
S 2667 would require the president to impose sanctions on foreign individuals who attack civilians, destroy property, seize land, or commit terrorism in the West Bank. Sanctions would include freezing U.S.-held assets and banning those individuals from entering the country. The president would report to Congress every six months on who has been sanctioned and conditions on the ground.
Who does it affect?
The bill targets foreign persons only and does not directly penalize American citizens. U.S. residents who do business with or send money to a sanctioned person could still be affected by those connections.
Why does it matter?
People in the United States with financial or family ties to individuals operating in the West Bank could face complications if those individuals are placed on the sanctions list. The bill has been referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and has not yet become law.
