PEACE Act

# PEACE Act Summary The PEACE Act (Protecting Europe from Antisemitic Crime and Extremism Act) would require the U.S. State Department to provide Congress with regular briefings over a three-year period about antisemitism and international terrorism threats in Europe. These briefings would also cover diplomatic efforts between the U.S. and European governments aimed at countering antisemitism and terrorism that could destabilize transatlantic relations or endanger American citizens and institutions abroad. The bill affects policymakers and oversight bodies in Congress, who would receive these periodic intelligence updates, as well as the State Department, which would be tasked with compiling and presenting the information.

It does not appear to create new law enforcement authority or implement specific anti-terrorism measures—rather, it focuses on information-sharing and transparency about existing diplomatic coordination efforts between U.S. and European partners. Currently, the bill is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. As introduced legislation, it remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
