(Worthy News) – Bipartisan American legislation directing the US president to sanction international individuals and agencies tied to the Gaza-based Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups was re-introduced in the House on Thursday.

Co-sponsored by New Jersey Democrat Josh Gottheimer and Florida Republican Brian Mast, the Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act was originally introduced in 2019 and was passed by the House unanimously. A version of the legislation was then introduced in the Senate by Connecticut Democrat Richard Blumenthal and Florida Republican Marco Rubio, but it was not approved by the end of the Congressional session.

Backed by AIPAC, the legislation instructs the White House to submit an annual report “identifying foreign persons, agencies or instrumentalities of a foreign state who knowingly and materially assist Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or an affiliate or successor of one of those organizations.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
