US Sanctions for West Bank Violence: Asset Blocking and Visa Bans.
This Act authorizes the US President to impose sanctions on foreign persons responsible for violence, terrorism, or actions threatening peace in the West Bank. Consequences for sanctioned individuals include blocking their assets in the US and banning their entry into the United States. While primarily focused on foreign policy, the law aims to protect regional stability, indirectly affecting international security and US interests.
Key points
Asset Blocking: Sanctioned individuals will have all property and interests in property located in the US or under the control of US persons blocked.
US Entry Ban: These individuals will be ineligible for visas, admission, or parole into the United States, and any current visas will be immediately revoked.
Sanctionable Actions: These include acts of violence targeting civilians, destruction of private property, seizure of property, and supporting terrorism in the West Bank.
Exceptions: Sanctions will not apply to humanitarian assistance, food, medicine, or authorized US intelligence activities.
