Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This bill repeals recent U.S. statutory and executive restrictions that halted or limited U.S. funding to UNRWA, directs the Secretary of State to resume funding for UNRWA immediately under existing authorities, requires the President to rescind a February 4, 2025 executive order withdrawing from certain U.N. organizations, and mandates quarterly reports through December 31, 2028 on UNRWA’s implementation of an independent review led by Catherine Colonna.
