2. In General- No United States Government document may refer to the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority as ‘Palestine’ until the Secretary of State certifies to Congress that the Palestinian Authority condemns terrorism, excludes Hamas, and recognizes Israels right to exist as a Jewish State.
3. This Act limits the amount of money that the United States gives to the Palestinian Authority, based on if they meet the requirements stated above.

Questions:

2. Should the United States just cut off all ties with the Palestinian Authority?
3. Could this bill cause other countries to enact something similar?
