Visa Sanctions for PLO Members and Palestinian Authority Officials

This act codifies and maintains visa sanctions for members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and officials of the Palestinian Authority (PA), making it harder for these individuals to enter the United States. The Secretary of State can temporarily waive these sanctions if the PLO and PA cease actions that undermine peace and support terrorism. This aims to influence the actions of these entities regarding international relations and counterterrorism.
Key points
Maintains visa denial sanctions for PLO members and PA officials.
Allows for temporary, renewable waivers if PLO and PA stop undermining peace, supporting terrorism, and providing payments to terrorists.
The act will remain in effect for seven years from its enactment date.
