Ceasefire Compliance Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Casten, Sean [D-IL-6]

Introduced

Summary

Ties U.S. defense transfers to verified compliance with the October 10, 2025 ceasefire and a U.S.-backed 20-point plan. This bill would create periodic certifications and an end-use monitoring regime that can block or limit shipments of U.S.-origin defense articles to Israel for use in the West Bank or Gaza until specific humanitarian and security benchmarks are met.

Show full summary
  • Palestinian civilians and aid groups would benefit from explicit conditions requiring unimpeded humanitarian access, no forced displacement, and limits on permanent occupation. If those conditions are not met, transfers for use in Gaza or the West Bank must stop.
  • Israel and U.S. military partners would face new export limits and preapproval rules. The President could waive a prohibition only with a detailed 15-day notice to Congress and a narrow national security justification, and certain missile-defense support is preserved.
  • U.S. oversight and Congress would get regular reporting and monitoring. The State Department and Defense would certify compliance every 90 days, an end-use monitoring group would issue biannual reports during prohibitions, and the authorities expire after five years.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Preserve U.S. defense and intelligence powers

If enacted, the bill would make clear that nothing here would stop the United States from defending its personnel or facilities abroad, collecting and sharing intelligence (including with Israel), or helping with defensive measures and missile-defense materials. That includes maintenance and resupply for systems such as Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow 3. The provision would preserve existing defense and intelligence authorities while the Act's other rules apply.

Pause arms transfers if rules broken

If enacted, this bill would require the Secretary of State, with Defense and the DNI, to report within 30 days and then every 90 days whether Israel is meeting the October 10, 2025 ceasefire and the related 20-point plan commitments. If a report finds violations—such as use of U.S.-origin defense articles in the West Bank or Gaza, forced displacement, annexation, or blocked humanitarian access—the United States would stop authorizing sales, exports, or transfers of U.S.-origin defense articles for those end uses until compliance is certified. The bill would create an end-use monitoring group that would report every 60 days while any prohibition is in force. The President could waive a specific prohibition only if he certifies at least 15 days before that the sale is vital to U.S. national security, explains why no feasible alternative exists, and provides detailed unclassified information (with an optional classified annex). The bill says this framework should not be read to limit spending for missile defense systems like Iron Dome, David's Sling, or Arrow 3.

Protect existing Gaza humanitarian funding

If enacted, the bill would say nothing in it may be read to limit the obligation or expenditure of funds for humanitarian assistance, stabilization, reconstruction, or other assistance for Gaza that are already authorized by law and provided in an appropriations Act. In short, existing legal authorities and appropriations for Gaza aid would be preserved and could still be used.

No automatic Board of Peace funding

If enacted, the bill would say that nothing in the Act, the ceasefire, the 20-point plan, or related frameworks would authorize spending for the Board of Peace's administrative, operating, or personnel costs unless Congress expressly authorizes and appropriates those funds in advance. Federal agencies would not be allowed to obligate or spend money for those Board purposes without prior congressional authorization and appropriation.
