S 4779 United States Senate · 118th Congress

PLO and PA Terror Payments Accountability Act of 2024

This bill requires the U.S. President to impose sanctions on foreign individuals and entities that support the Palestinian Authority and Palestine Liberation Organization's system of paying terrorists and their families, which the bill states incentivizes terrorism. Sanctions include blocking U.S. property, denying visas, and restricting financial transactions with officials, organizations (like the Commission of Prisoners), or financial institutions facilitating these payments. The President must act within 90 days of enactment, and sanctions remain in effect until the Secretary of State certifies the payments have ceased. The bill builds on the 2018 Taylor Force Act, which previously tied U.S. aid to ending such payments.
