What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a bill, to the concurrent resolution.
The rule would prevent the Senate from considering any bill, resolution, motion, or amendment that authorizes or appropriates money to implement activities regarding the removal of Palestinians who are not citizens of Israel from Gaza, the West Bank, or other areas under Israeli administration after June 5, 1967.
The text states that seizing enemy property and pillage are considered war crimes under the War Crimes Act.
The amendment notes that United States officials facilitating these acts would face liability risks under that law.
The point of order can only be waived or suspended by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Senate members.
A three-fifths vote of the Senate would also be required to uphold an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair regarding this point of order.
