UNRWA FTO Designation Act

The UNRWA FTO Designation Act requires the U.S. Secretary of State to designate the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) as a foreign terrorist organization within 10 days of the bill becoming law. This designation would immediately halt all U.S. funding to UNRWA under existing law, as foreign terrorist organizations are barred from receiving U.S. financial support. The bill directly affects UNRWA and the Palestinian refugees who rely on its humanitarian services, including food, education, and healthcare. The change would implement a legal process without altering the definition of a foreign terrorist organization.
