A bill to impose sanctions with respect to foreign persons that have facilitated Israeli settlement construction in the E1 area of the West Bank.

This bill would require the President, starting 30 days after it becomes law, to block the U.S.-based property and transactions of foreign people and companies that the Treasury Department finds took part in building Israeli settlements or related infrastructure in the E1 area of the West Bank. Covered activities include bidding on E1 tenders on or after August 18, 2026, providing construction or contracting services, financing such work, or helping move Israeli civilians into settlements there. Leaders of entities involved, including government entities, would also be covered, and the President could choose to sanction those who support or act for sanctioned persons. Humanitarian transactions and U.S. intelligence activities would be exempt, and the sanctions would end 7 years after the bill becomes law.
