Defund United Nations Relief and Works Agency Act of 2024

This bill prohibits U.S. funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) starting from its enactment date, ending all U.S. financial support for the agency in fiscal year 2024 and prior years. It also bans entry to the United States for individuals affiliated with UNRWA (except U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or those covered by a specific UN headquarters agreement) and revokes tax-exempt status for UNRWA USA under U.S. tax law. These provisions directly affect UNRWA's operations, its staff and partners, and individuals linked to the agency seeking U.S. entry or tax benefits.
