; (11) the Palestinian people have largely responded to such overtures by attacking Israel’s right to exist; and (12) if Palestinian terrorists refuse to accept Israel’s right to exist, and instead continue to resort to the senseless murder of countless Israeli civilians, the only tenable solution is a one-state solution with Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel. 3. Prohibition of assistance to the Judea and Samaria area and Gaza Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be made available for any program, project, or activity located in any Palestinian-controlled area of Judea and Samaria or Gaza until the President of the United States, acting through the Secretary of State, certifies in writing to the appropriate congressional committees that those responsible for the October 2023 attack against the State of Israel (including Hamas and Hezbollah) have agreed to a permanent cessation of hostilities. 4. Definitions In this Act, the term appropriate congressional committees means— (1) the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives; and (2) the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate.
