Banning US Government Official Business in Gaza and the West Bank.

This bill tightens anti-terrorism sanctions by prohibiting the US President from authorizing official government business (by employees, grantees, or contractors) in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank if such activity would otherwise violate existing sanctions. It prevents the use of waivers or licenses to bypass these rules, and any existing exceptions are immediately canceled. This legislation directly impacts how US foreign policy and aid operations are conducted in these specific territories.
Key points
Prohibits the President from issuing new waivers or licenses that would allow official US Government business in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank if it violates anti-terrorism sanctions.
Rescinds all existing exceptions and licenses that previously allowed US government employees, contractors, or grantees to operate in these areas despite sanctions.
Ensures strict adherence to Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations and Foreign Terrorist Organizations Sanctions Regulations regarding US operations in the specified territories.
