  • 2025-01312 — Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Situation in the West Bank
    Type:Presidential Document
    Citation:90 FR 5467
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The President has decided to extend the national emergency related to the situation in the West Bank for another year, beyond February 1, 2025. This emergency was first declared in early 2024 due to concerns over increased violence, forced displacements, and the destruction of property, which threaten peace and security in the region. These actions negatively impact U.S. foreign policy goals, including the two-state solution, and pose a risk to the security and stability of the broader Middle East. The notice has been sent to Congress and will be published in the Federal Register.

    Simple Explanation

    The President is keeping watch on a problem far away in the West Bank, where people are having troubles and fighting. This is important for keeping peace and working together around the world.

  • 2025-01888 — Notice of OFAC Sanctions Actions
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 8423
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) within the U.S. Department of the Treasury has removed specific names from its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. These individuals had their property and interests blocked under sanctions related to the West Bank. This change follows an Executive Order issued on January 20, 2025, which revoked a previous order from February 1, 2024, that had imposed the sanctions. As a result of this action, the affected individuals' assets are no longer blocked.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided that certain people's money and things are no longer blocked, so they removed their names from a special list, kind of like taking them off a naughty list, because a new rule replaced an old one.
