UNRWA Elimination Act
This bill, HR 7111 (UNRWA Elimination Act), ends all U.S. funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and prohibits future U.S. support for its programs, staff, or activities. It requires the President to advocate for disbanding UNRWA and transferring its refugee services in the West Bank and Gaza to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The bill also conditions U.S. foreign aid on recipient countries publicly supporting UNRWA's disbandment. It directly affects UNRWA, which provides critical aid to Palestinian refugees, and U.S. foreign aid recipients who must align with this policy to receive funding.
