What this bill would do

This bill, known as the Ceasefire Compliance Act of 2026, sets strict rules regarding the use of United States-made weapons in the West Bank and Gaza. It requires the government to submit regular reports checking if Israel is following specific ceasefire, humanitarian, and governance conditions. If violations are found, the legislation stops the sale, export, or transfer of United States-origin defense articles for use in those areas. Additionally, it creates a special monitoring group to keep track of how these defense articles are deployed. The bill also places funding limits on the Board of Peace and ensures that core defense funding for systems like the Iron Dome is protected.
