The bill would require new sanctions on people and companies tied to Hamas, Iran, and human-shield tactics. It would also block some U.S. aid for Gaza and UNRWA unless the President says Hamas is not in real control of Gaza.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Hamas Sanctions Act of 2023 is a Senate bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people, companies, banks, aid groups, and governments connected to Hamas, Iran, Gaza, the West Bank, and UNRWA funding. It could change who gets sanctioned, who can receive U.S. aid, and when U.S. officials can loosen sanctions. Civilians in Gaza and the West Bank could be affected if aid is delayed or narrowed. U.S. agencies would also have to prepare new lists, sanctions decisions, and reports for Congress.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could change how the United States uses money, sanctions, and aid in response to Hamas and Iran. It could make sanctions faster and harder to avoid. It could also make it harder for U.S. aid to reach Gaza, UNRWA, or some West Bank programs unless the bill’s conditions are met. The full effect would depend on who the government identifies, how strictly sanctions are enforced, and what future Presidents certify to Congress.
