Largely the same as State and Foreign Operations funding provisions in H.R. 2055 of 5/31/11, the bill contains two differences with respect to the PA and PLO:
Would prohibit funding to ‘a government over which Hamas exercises undue influence,’ whereas H.R. 2055 prohibits funding to any power sharing government that ‘results from an agreement with Hamas and over which Hamas exercises undue influence.’
Would not prohibit an official PLO presence in the U.S. if Palestine obtains membership in any UN body, but would require the president to provide Congress with recommendations on appropriate actions to be taken regarding the PLO presence if Palestine seeks UN membership.
