Quick Glance: US Congressional Leaders Propose Spending Bill to Cut UNRWA Funding
  • A new bill with support from Biden and bipartisan agreement aims to prevent a government shutdown and prohibit funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.

  • The proposed spending bill from Congressional leaders in the US would avert a government shutdown but ban funding for the UNRWA.

  • The US has been UNRWA’s largest donor, and a ban would almost certainly lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

  • De-funding of UNRWA has been paused by some Western countries, led by the US, despite UNRWA denying allegations of having ties to Hamas.
