S 3052 United States Senate · 118th Congress

GAZA Act

S 3052, the GAZA Act, prohibits individuals holding Palestinian Authority passports from entering the United States. It makes such individuals automatically inadmissible, blocks them from receiving visas or parole, and denies them any immigration benefits under U.S. law. The bill directly affects Palestinian Authority passport holders by restricting their ability to travel to or reside in the U.S. The key mechanism is a blanket exclusion based solely on passport issuance by the Palestinian Authority, without requiring individual case reviews. This policy change creates a permanent travel restriction for this specific group under existing immigration statutes.
