Gaza Strip Travel Restrictions: Presidential Proclamation 9645 Becomes Law

This Act converts Presidential Proclamation 9645, which restricts entry into the U.S., into permanent statutory law. Crucially, the law mandates that individuals residing in the Gaza Strip will face the same travel restrictions as nationals from countries previously identified under that Proclamation. This significantly limits the ability of Gaza residents to enter the United States.
Key points
The existing Presidential travel restrictions (Proclamation 9645) are made permanent federal law.
Residents of the Gaza Strip are now subject to the same strict entry limitations as nationals of countries previously designated under the Proclamation.
