Uncovering UNRWA’s Terrorist Crimes Act
This bill requires the U.S. State Department to report to Congress within 90 days on all U.S. funding provided to UNRWA (the UN agency aiding Palestinian refugees) from fiscal years 2020-2024, including monthly breakdowns and how funds were spent. It then prohibits the use of federal funds - directly or indirectly - to support UNRWA starting on the bill’s enactment date. The bill directly affects UNRWA by halting U.S. financial support pending the report, without making any findings about UNRWA’s activities. The key mechanisms are the mandatory funding report and the immediate funding ban.
