Notice of January 13, 2017
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Terrorists Who Threaten To Disrupt the
Middle East Peace Process
On January 23, 1995, by Executive Order 12947, the
President declared a national emergency pursuant to the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security, foreign policy, and
economy of the United States constituted by grave acts
of violence committed by foreign terrorists that
disrupt the Middle East peace process. On August 20,
1998, by Executive Order 13099, the President modified
the Annex to Executive Order 12947 to identify four
additional persons who threaten to disrupt the Middle
East peace process. On February 16, 2005, by Executive
Order 13372, the President clarified the steps taken in
Executive Order 12947.
These terrorist activities continue to threaten the
Middle East peace process and to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States. For this
reason, the national emergency declared on January 23,
1995, and the measures adopted to deal with that
emergency must continue in effect beyond January 23,
2017. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of
the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am
continuing for 1 year the national emergency with
respect to foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt
the Middle East peace process.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
January 13, 2017.
