Make Gaza Great Again Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Make Gaza Great Again Act uses foreign-affairs pressure to push other governments to accept Palestinians from Gaza for humanitarian entry. It authorizes the President to impose IEEPA sanctions on foreign persons charged with representing foreign governments that reject a presidential request to grant humanitarian entry. It also allows suspension of major non-NATO ally status and foreign or security assistance for countries whose governments decline the request, with written notice required to end a suspension. The reporting framework requires lists to congressional committees within 60 days, updates at 180 days, and annual updates for five years.
Who Benefits and How
Palestinians from Gaza benefit if foreign governments respond to U.S. pressure by opening humanitarian entry pathways. U.S. humanitarian diplomats benefit from sanctions and assistance tools they can use in negotiations with partner governments. Congressional foreign-affairs committees benefit from recurring lists of refusing governments and officials. Countries willing to accept Gazans benefit by avoiding the sanctions and assistance consequences aimed at refusing governments.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Foreign governments refusing humanitarian entry bear risk of aid suspension, security-assistance suspension, or major non-NATO ally consequences. Foreign officials representing refusing governments may face IEEPA sanctions and related financial restrictions. The State Department must manage requests, country determinations, congressional notices, and relationship fallout. Treasury sanctions staff must implement designations and financial restrictions if the President uses the authority.
