Exclusive: House Republicans Introduce ‘GAZA Act’ to Stop Biden from Importing Palestinians to U.S
The bill, exclusively shared with Breitbart News ahead of its introduction, is titled the “Guaranteeing Aggressors Zero Admission Act” or the GAZA Act. The legislation would prevent Biden’s administration from issuing visas to those with Palestinian Authority passports.
“Following the horrific attack by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists on innocent Israeli civilians, the last thing America ought to do is trust identity documents issued by the radicals that oversee these territories,” Tiffany said in a statement. “We need to put our security at home first and that starts by closing the door to bad actors who might be seeking to enter our country.”

I remember reading how it was terrible some countries, including the US, denied entry to Jews escaping the Nazis.
Many Palestinians are also escaping a terrible situation, especially those in the Gaza strip.
So these Republican reps want to ban anyone with a Palestinian Authority passport even though the P.A. is not Hamas and infact are rivals.

Re. on nations that helped Hamas.
The GOP reps says "Iranian-backed Hamas" but conveniently leave out that Qatar also backs Hamas. The former head of Hamas - Khaled Mashal - lives in Qatar. Mashal recently called on all Muslims for a "day of rage". Turkey also backed Hamas.
Qatar is a US ally, and home to a massive US and allied military presence, including the forward HQ of CENTCOM. Despite Qatar using indentured servitude (slavery) to build the infrastructure for the World Cup, and hundreds of poor Asian workers dying, Elon Musk, Jared Kushner and Ilhan Omar attended the Soccer World Cup in Qatar. Jared is cosy with the Qatari royals.

GOP reps introduce bill to stem flow of Palestinians into US amid Israel-Hamas conflict
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4256094-ogles-tiffany-bill-palestinians-us-war-israel-hamas/
Rep. Tiffany says the US can not let the Biden admin to bring in unvetted Palestinians. Why would the Palestinians coming in be unvetted? They would get questioned at customs and no doubt also have background checks done by Federal agencies.
They (the GOP reps) say the Bill would prevent DHS from using its "parole pipeline" which is a special US gov. program that allowed some groups to skip the green card line. If you are a refugee trying to enter the US it's not practical to wait for years outside the US.

There is also this recent article from the Times of Israel.
For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

For years, the various governments led by Benjamin Netanyahu took an approach that divided power between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — bringing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees while making moves that propped up the Hamas terror group.
The idea was to prevent Abbas — or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority’s West Bank government — from advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Thus, amid this bid to impair Abbas, Hamas was upgraded from a mere terror group to an organization with which Israel held indirect negotiations via Egypt, and one that was allowed to receive infusions of cash from abroad.
