 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses support for the recent terrorism victims and their families in Israel, the people of Israel, and the government of Israel.

Condemns terrorism committed under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority (PA), and calls on Palestinian leaders to cease supporting or allowing terrorist activities in Israel.

Urges the President to condemn the attacks carried out against innocent Israelis and freeze U.S. funding to the PA until their leaders openly increase efforts to end their incitement of violence.

Expresses concern about the use of national security waivers to continue supplying aid to the PA.

Demands as a condition of continued U.S. aid that the President re-certify that the PA government and all its ministers have publicly accepted and are complying with the principles which demand the recognition of Israel's right to exist and the acceptance of previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements.
