To authorize the Secretary of State to withdraw from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East Federal funds previously made available to such organization.
This bill directs the Secretary of State to quickly recover any unspent U.S. federal funds previously allocated to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). It directly affects UNRWA, the UN agency providing aid to Palestinian refugees, by requiring the withdrawal of funds not yet used as of the bill's enactment date. The key provision mandates the U.S. government to take necessary steps to reclaim these unexpended funds, without altering existing aid programs or future funding decisions. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on recovering unused funds rather than changing aid policies.
