Make Gaza Great Again Act

This bill pushes Middle Eastern countries (not Israel) to let people from Gaza enter for humanitarian reasons. It tells the President to send Congress a list of foreign government representatives who refuse such requests, and to keep that list updated for five years. People on the list could face U.S. sanctions, like having property in the U.S. blocked and losing the ability to get or keep a U.S. visa. The law does not apply to Israel or Israeli nationals.

The President could also pause certain benefits for countries that refuse, including suspending “major non-NATO ally” status and stopping foreign aid, including security aid. These suspensions can be ended with notice to Congress. The sanctions power lasts for five years, and the President can waive sanctions if it’s in the national interest. Routine U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement activities are not affected.

• Who is affected: Foreign government representatives who reject U.S. requests to allow Palestinians from Gaza to enter; governments that refuse such requests.
• What changes: Listed individuals can have U.S. assets blocked and visas denied or revoked; countries can lose certain U.S. ally status and aid until they cooperate .
• When: The first list is due within 60 days of enactment, updated at 180 days and then yearly for five years; the sanctions authority sunsets after five years .
