This bill would require the Secretary of State to send Congress a report within 90 days showing how much money the United States gave to UNRWA from fiscal years 2020 through 2024 and how that money was used. It would also stop any federal money from being sent to UNRWA, either directly or through other channels, starting as soon as the bill becomes law.
- The report must list total U.S. funding to UNRWA for each fiscal year from 2020 to 2024.
- The report must also break down that funding by month and explain how the money was spent.
- Once the bill is enacted, no federal funds may be used to support UNRWA in any way.
