House GOP Proposes Two-Year Ban on Palestinian Immigration

New legislation introduced by Rep. Matt Gaetz aims to halt Palestinian immigration to the U.S. for national security reasons amid ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

• The 'GAZA Act' would prevent Palestinian Authority passport holders from entering the U.S. for two years.
• Rep. Gaetz and co-sponsors argue the bill is necessary to protect American citizens.
• The bill follows previous GOP efforts to restrict immigration from regions linked to terrorism.
• House Democrats are divided, with some supporting Israel and others calling for humanitarian considerations.
• The legislation comes as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is set to address Congress on the conflict.
