Bill Summary
A BILL To withhold United States contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the UNRWA Accountability and Transparency Act, proposes to withhold U.S. contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) unless the Secretary of State certifies that UNRWA has met certain conditions. These conditions include ensuring that no UNRWA official or entity has ties to terrorist organizations, that UNRWA facilities are not used for terrorist activities, and that UNRWA's finances and educational materials are free from anti-American, anti-Israel, or anti-Semitic content. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to submit an annual report on efforts to encourage other countries to adopt the U.S. policy on defining Palestinian refugees and to phase out UNRWA, with the goal of integrating or resettling Palestinians receiving UNRWA services in coordination with Israel.
