Gaza Strip Travel Restriction Act
HR 8558, the Gaza Strip Travel Restriction Act, makes Presidential Proclamation 9645 (2017) legally binding by elevating it to the force of law. The bill treats individuals residing in the Gaza Strip as if they were nationals of countries listed in that proclamation, subjecting them to the same travel restrictions. This procedural bill does not create new restrictions but codifies an existing executive order, applying its travel rules to Gaza residents. The summary focuses solely on the bill's legal mechanism, not the substance of the restrictions or their impact.
