Bill Summary

A BILL To withhold United States contributions to the United Na- tions Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill aims to redefine the criteria for being considered a Palestinian refugee eligible for assistance from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). It would require the United States to withhold funding to UNRWA unless the organization meets certain conditions, such as ensuring no UNRWA officials or resources are affiliated with terrorist organizations, and that UNRWA's educational materials do not contain anti-American, anti-Israel, or anti-Semitic content. The bill also calls for a plan to encourage other countries to adopt the new refugee definition and to phase out UNRWA by integrating or resettling Palestinian refugees in coordination with and without endangering the security of Israel.
