West Bank Violence Prevention Act of 2025

This bill aims to reduce violence in the West Bank by letting the U.S. block the money and U.S. entry of foreign people who commit, lead, support, or train for violent acts against civilians, or who help take or destroy private property there. It covers actions like attacking or threatening civilians, scaring families into moving, destroying homes or farms, and seizing property. It also targets leaders of groups involved in these acts and those who fund or support them. Penalties include freezing assets in the U.S. and making people ineligible for visas, with any current visas canceled right away .

There are exceptions for U.S. intelligence work, humanitarian aid like food and medicine, and cases needed to meet U.N. obligations or help law enforcement. The President can waive or end sanctions if it serves U.S. national security or if the person stops the harmful behavior and gives reliable assurances it won’t happen again. The administration must report on who is sanctioned and why, starting 90 days after the law takes effect, and then every 180 days, along with updates on violence and property destruction in the West Bank and what is being done to reduce it .

• Who is affected: Foreign individuals and leaders of entities linked to West Bank violence, threats, property destruction, dispossession, or terrorism; and those who fund or support them .
• What changes: U.S. freezes their assets and blocks or revokes visas; humanitarian and certain official exceptions apply; violations face penalties under existing sanctions law .
• When: Sanctions apply once the government identifies qualifying actions; visa revocations take effect immediately; required reports begin 90 days after enactment, then every 180 days .
